Nobody gets a hit every time they step up to the plate.  Sometimes you just plain strike out.  What I’ve learned from watching people who strike out is this:  If striking out teaches you something, then there is value in striking out — it’s the cost of the education.  If you strike out, then immediately adopt a bad attitude then striking out had no value.

It’s that way in business.  You have to give people enough room to try and fail if you want to achieve greatness in your business.  Winners will learn from their mistakes and do better next time.  Losers will keep making the same mistakes over and over again.  Give the winners a break, and create an environment where they can take risks.  You will reap the benefits.  The losers????   Who hired them in the first place?  They can be the ones to let them go.
