Re: Coaching, Managing
Sunny, I don't think it's so much the one failure to follow through as it is the history of not doing so. Coach Eiland correct me if I'm wrong. What Andrew said is right either way. You're going to have to decide whether you want to be driven by results or by the learning experience. I've had the same thoughts, though thankfully applied to hypothetical situations. If you want results then simply inform the student that they've been relieved of their task and reassigned or terminated. If you want to, heaven forbid, have the student learn something then perhaps recommend another student, possibly someone interested in learning website as well to work together on the project? This way the student hopefully won't feel affronted and you'll have one less empty space when the student graduates, since they trained their replacement.
