Failure: Not Who But Why

"Waste no time with revolutions that do not remove the cause of your complaints but simply change the faces of those in charge."

Francesco Guicciardini
Early 16th century Italian historian/statesman


In other words, your problems may not be the direct fault of others.

If an employee is failing, look for the reason.
