Here are some tips to help you out.
When hiring
Hire for FIT
Personalities don’t change, but you can always teach knowledge and skill
Sometimes more experience can come with prior bad habits

Hiring someone whose strengths complement your weaknesses can be quite rewarding
Keeping quality employees
Show appreciation and respect
Encourage input and feedback
Identify and invest in high performers
