Totally True
I have been on both sides of the fence as a State Labor/Union Delegate and as a small/medium business owner(currently) and quite frankly the only person responsible for a failure/sacking of an employee/subordinate is(except for people who wish to get sacked--yep they exist)the person in charge. The sooner managers realise that they ultimately are the ones failing the subordinate the sooner they will learn how to manage effectively. Sometimes you have to accept you can't help a subordinate and the sooner you accept that and realise your short commings the sooner you will seek advice on how to overcome the same. To motivate a subordinate/employee is a key management role, and it starts as soon as you interview the person for a job, they do need precise guidelines for there job, and you have to determine if they fit your expectations for those guidelines. The sooner managers/bossess/owners in business realise they are only as good as there team the sooner you will have a productive and goal orientated business at all levels
