How Do You Deal With Employees Who Lack Judgement?
I'm a very experienced manager in a different industry, but I've recently started a new small business. Things are going OK but not great.
I have two team members with much more relevant experience than mine. They *should* be able to implement solutions that work, but their ideas are consistently wrong. The ideas are expensive, they propose drastic changes to the business, and they want to stop doing things that are bringing in revenue. When they have been allowed to implement their ideas, they often haven't worked. They argue for large expenses but against small ones, to save money. None of it makes sense.
The thing they seem to lack is that intangible "judgement"... that sense of whether an idea suits this situation. Their vast experience just doesn't seem to translate to workable ideas in this context.
They argue that I lack experience and don't understand the proposed solutions - but as I mentioned, those solutions haven't worked. Feedback is not proving effective because they believe I lack experience, and I'm pretty much at dismissing them. Any tips for dealing with employees who know a lot, but just can't make good recommendations?
