That sounds very counter productive, unless you're in a business where there are no room for errors, e.g. managing a squad of hitmen

Do you mind if you disagree.

I`ll give you an example. We had a team of devs and I guy I know has joined us as a QA team lead. They guy was really cool, very comfy to be around with etc and etc. But problem was that he never really got the job done done.

I made a mistake of trying to help him for way too long, trying to figure out better tasks, better approaches.

At the end of the day I fired him. And guess what, this showed him he finally had to start doing something that noone would be puching him towards to - he started a little firm that ourganized mountaint trips.
