Does this mean to assume that when the person consistently makes wrong decisions, it's due to a shortage of competence?

- creakingstairs 5y agoI mean it depends. But I’d say one should try to assume that the reason they are consistently making wrong decisions are basing their decisions on wrong assumptions are using wrong heuristics. Have a nice talk with the person. Ask them what went into making this decision. A lot of the times you might find that there was a misunderstanding. Or they simply might not know what to because they weren’t taught. Now I’m not saying doing above is easy. Even with best wordings, peeps might and will get offended. In that case, you may need to establish trust with them first. Finally, I want to say that some people are not up to the task (e.g I am not up for being a pro golfer) or just don’t give a shit. The really hard part is knowing when that is the case so that you don’t burn out trying to foster trust in your relationship that’s going nowhere. But I’d say the best play to start is to assume good intention.
