I have an employee. He is aggressive, thinks independently, but he is not disciplined. His lack of discipline has cost me some money, but on the other hand saved me a lot of money also- he has saved me more than I lost, but his lack of discipline causes bad morale. He has a god-syndrome - he thinks he is the only one responsible for the business doing well, though in truth, it is really a team effort. Things that he saved me money on, well, now that I am aware of it, I really dont need him for it anymore. He wants to be pampered and wants to work outside the framework of processes that I set up
I have humored him in the begining, I needed his energy and aggressiveness to get myself out of the rut that I was in, then I tried bringing him in line, which worked for a while, but as the business started doing better, his head would reach for the clouds. The question is whether his lack of discipline will hurt me in the long run?
