I'm always amused when someone who clearly has a job he loves (and that has made him a ton of money) has the temerity to label those less lucky (i.e. those who think they're in the wrong job) as being somehow difficult.
People can endure a lot of boredom, so if they're worrying that they're in the wrong job, they are either extremely bored (in which case they clearly are in the wrong job) or insecure (because someone higher up either isn't giving the person reason to feel secure, or is even actively feeding the insecurity by threats of dismissal).
So how do you make someone feel insecure? Saddle them with a lot of responsibility, but little or no authority. At least, that's been my experience and I've had this done to me a couple of times.

- flashgordon 18y agoIts interesting how the article completely ignores the issue of incentives with respect to coaching. In reality, isnt uncoachability a result of lack of incentives and perception of self benefits? Paradoxically doesnt that just indicate an ineffective coach or coaching methods?
