The WebSmartIdeas aims to promote and disseminate good creative ideas to improve society.

When employees fail it's because they …

• Don't know how to do the task
• Don't know what they are expected to do
• Think they are doing it right but haven't had any feedback
• Don't know why they should do it
• Face obstacles beyond their control
• Don't think the new way will work
• Think their way is better
• Are not motivated
• Do not have enough time to do it
• Have the wrong priorities
• Are poorly managed
  and …
• Are utterly incapable of doing the task.

In all but the last reason, the boss can have a dramatic input on improvement … yet very few do (or bother) which is a pity given that personnel are the greatest assets of most businesses.
