Difficulties in training staff what are root causes, and solution

Be better than before, than yesterday...

My official rank now is a consultant for the company this post has established and been running for the past 42 years.  This post turned over the management to children and because of difficulty with child rearing and lack of constant communication, morale, output have been down.   

This post was forced to get out of retirement, put on the boots and work.

The first aspect that I looked into  was hiring, orientation.  Last Sunday I went to an outlet in the north to do the training.  Lo difficulties, despite the claim that  the staff (two 2 and 3 years tenure had been trained)

     1.  The chief at the outlet did not read the memo organizing the  orientation

     2  The staff whom I instructed to relay and asked to have the boss call me while on travel failed 

           to respond if she had called saying she was busy

     3.  The same staff came late (at 7:30 instead of 7:00 as agreed upon)

     4.  The orientation was used as an alibi not to sell and do other pending jobs, despite it being 

           scheduled so as not to interfere with daily work

     5.   The team building was not done on time, and if done a different one was made.

     6.  The exams were done haphazardly as if to get by

    So clearly there: is at least

    1.  Communication problem

    2.  Attitude problems

    3.  Problem of focus

    4.  Problem of acceptance 

    5.  Loss of morale:  pride in self, company

    6l  Lack or determination, forcefulness and hard work

How being fired, being left out can be a great motivator to succeed as in the case of Steve Jobs.

Be better than before, than yesterday...

"I was fired from the very company I created… and it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me."

When I was born, my biological parents gave me up for adoption.

That moment — even though I couldn't remember it — left a mark that never fully faded.

My adoptive parents gave me love, warmth, and stability.

But inside, a quiet voice kept asking: Why wasn't I enough to be kept?

That question became my engine.

That pain — my fuel.

I was determined to build something so meaningful that the world couldn't look away.

At 20, in my parents' garage, I co-founded Apple.

No investors. No safety net. No plan B.

Just an idea — and an obsession to make technology beautiful, simple, and human.

For a while, it worked.

Then life flipped the script.

At 30, I was forced out — fired by the same company I had built from nothing.

It felt like exile.

Like being thrown out of your own home. 💼⚡

For months, I wandered in the dark — humiliated, angry, lost.

But somewhere in that emptiness… a spark reignited.

I started again.

From zero.

I built NeXT — and bought a small animation studio that would soon become Pixar.

And while I was rebuilding, life had a strange way of coming full circle:

Apple bought NeXT — not to hire me back, but to buy the technology I'd created.

That's how I returned.

This time, stronger.

Wiser.

Free from the need to prove — driven instead to create.

Together, we launched the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone.

We didn't just design products — we redesigned how people live, dream, listen, and connect.

Behind every headline was a man once rejected, adopted, and fired —

who refused to let any of it define him.

🍎📲

Because sometimes the greatest breakthroughs are born from heartbreak.

Sometimes the fall is what gives you wings.

⏳💥

"Life will hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

Because what feels like an ending… might just be the start of something extraordinary."

— Steve Jobs

IL in family business

Be better than before, than yesterday...

This is a big challenge for family businesses especially for oreintal companies.   Typical story:   Fahter builds a business empire and he looks for a successor in the organization.   His daughter is not ready and chooses a next in line as a successor and induces marriage between the candidate and daughter (or son)

And then despite the pre nupt, drama ensues.

Couple this with patriarch having a mistress and then more drama.

Typically I would like to see such SIL as the fortunate ones and are not motivated as much to work, he having been assured of easy lire as member of the family

The culture of entitlement and being family ensues.  And the fall of the empire built by the father follows
