Teaching Smart People How to Learn - BADM 720

This article explains some of the scenarios I have been part of between my management team when trying to deal with even small failures. When a manager or professional has the ability through having a higher education or the power to deflect the failures off on someone else or ignore the failure completely, this is tough to avoid using. Open discussions do not always work at getting the person to take ownership of the mistake or failure. It is very often that I would rather avoid the painful experience than to have to force a colleague or my manager to see the errors of their ways. I am just as guilty of assuming they just can not be taught to change. The main ingredients in implementing a positive learning environment in a company is the commitment to performance evaluations and safe open communication between managers and professionals. Easier said than done, but worth the effort in the long run.
