Initially I was a little afraid to share my problem like this here, but now I'm so glad I did. Your replies have really made it easier for me to think this through because just talking about it to someone has helped me a lot. > Some people don't innately have a built-in drive to do things on their own. > He may grow out of that trait with time, but until then you can either put up with it or don't. > For a best friend, I'd put up with it. This statement really resonated with me a lot. I don't think I'm going to do anything right now and just hope that he does something measurable for our business by the deadline I gave him. I do see him trying harder this time too. He himself has admitted that he doesn't have that built-in drive to do things on his own, but maybe like you said, he will grow out of it one day, especially if when I just leave him be for sometime. Your reply was very insightful and I may have some more thinking to do after all. Thanks.
