Scenario

When a team collectively avoids acknowledging a bad hire

We hired someone for our small team who interviews brilliantly but consistently misses deadlines and over-promises to clients, and we're all working extra hours to cover for them. Everyone knows what's happening but no one wants to be the person who says we made a hiring mistake, including me as the manager.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group is enabling poor performance to avoid admitting a shared decision was wrong.
