As long as the reason this person won't fit in isn't related to things like his/her race, religion, age, disability or gender, you can safely note this on the evaluation form. I've written things like "abrasive manner, may offend coworkers" and "doesn't display enough self-confidence for a leadership role" and those are perfectly OK things to note and record.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
