Let Them Make Mistakes</title><link>http://knowhr.disqus.com/want_them_to_learn_quickly_let_them_make_mistakes/#comment-1824760</link><description>In our company we hire many recruiters who don't have experience recruiting and teach them how.  I firmly believe that in any leadership role you cannot be afraid to let people make mistakes. I agree with Wally and Frank on that.  In fact, in building a business or a department, if you don't delegate and allow for failures you will always be held hostage by chores and never have a chance to lead.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Giving people the chance to make mistakes doesn't mean you let them fail.  As long as a manager and employee have a positive, open relationship you will be able to work with them to fix the mistakes and build a stronger bond at the same time!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Tom Gimbel</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jul 2007 13:09:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: What Do You Do If Employees Don&amp;#8217;t Do What They&amp;#8217;re Asked To Do?</title><link>http://knowhr.disqus.com/what_do_you_do_if_employees_don8217t_do_what_they8217re_asked_to_do/#comment-1824823</link><description>The solution is really a question:  If you have employees who don't do what they are asked, why do you keep them?  No matter how well they do one aspect of their job, eventually they will be a culture buster because the high performers will resent them.  This isn't a volunteer high school football team where you make the team if you try out.  If you let the inmates run the asylum, you deserve to be committed.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Tom Gimbel</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2007 17:39:22 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
