In this situation, I would take all of my friends/working partners out to
a dinner, them as a group about what the situation is with the project,and give
anyone that requests it an opportunity to speak their ideas. I would take
Troy aside at an opportune time, and let him now that although you do not
particularly mind the use of his resources to work for a small business,
you need this project done on time, and that in the end he needs to put
the project first. Next, I would ask Shanetta to see if she could hire
some extra people to help out around the work place, and make sure to
thank her profusely for her help. I would find some money out of the
grant, assuming that we get it, to give everyone raises, to help out with
the financial issues that some people are going through. I will do that in addition to
keeping Troy on task, because he will not need to moonlight to sustain his
family, the raise would also boost everyone's spirits and hopefully
increase their productivity for the next project. Finally, I would make
the working environment as fun as possible, which will hopefully boost
productivity even more. (see Google's work space for examples).
