> If you can make mistakes and not bear any responsibility for it, what is driving you to get better at doing your job? It could be any of the following: 1) ambition: desire to improve yourself 2) fear: desire not to screw up (and feel that you are making mistakes) 3) fear: job security In all cases what's essential is a feedback system. The fact that you are not directly the one to be blamed doesn't imply you are automatically not accountable for anything you do. Everyone shares at least partially the blame. Creating a blameless culture, having a good feedback system in place with maybe some goals, objectives and ways to improve is probably something you need, if you want to keep your employees and have them grow with you and not treat them as expandable. Good management should be able to do this. If someone is not fit for a role, a good manager will be able to find another way for this person to be useful. The last thing you want to do is to fire someone. At least that's my opinion. Again, management.
