I can see a large number of people join the staff and quickly fail. I don't need intuitive knowledge from my experience as an imm, I have statistical evidence of a low success rate.

Right now I currently have 4 paid employees and a volunteer staff of 14, not to mention vendors. All happily trucking along. I have had as many as 30 full time employees under me.

Not sure what to make of this... I think orginization will make any project more enjoyable. We can have a requirement that everyone work on an area pretty much by themselves for a period of multiple months, but we can't expect them to work on a team? I'm not sure I get what your saying.
