We were watching the Arizona Cardinals play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon, and it couldn’t escape us that the 49ers really beat themselves by a large number of personnel infractions against the Cardinals.<\/p>\n
Do your employees beat themselves by making silly mistakes?<\/p>\n
We’re as fond as anyone else of sports analogies, and we hope it’s not too much of a stretch, but Jim Harbaugh, the coach of the 49ers, really needed to discipline his players when they made stupid mistakes. It being football, yelling on the sidelines might not have been a bad idea, while the player’s sub is playing a few downs.<\/p>\n
Harbaugh isn’t known for being a low-key guy, so we’re mystified why he didn’t exert more discipline on the players.<\/p>\n

There comes a point when stupid mistakes just can’t be tolerated, and the 49ers clearly went past that point.<\/p>\n
