Question: Walter, a senior manager at BottleCap Creations, believes that rather than pointing out the limitations of his subordinates and making them lose their sense of self-worth, he should allow them to identify their strengths and weaknesses on their own through various tests. His colleague, Veronica, claims that the opposite approach, pointing out mistakes, is a good way to create improvements. Which of the following statements, if true, would weaken Veronica's claim?

A. Employees who have their mistakes identified by their supervisor are more focused and determined on the job.

B. Pointing out faults to an employee is an effective learning process because the employee will make sure to follow through on the supervisor's feedback.

C. Employees prefer having face-to-face conversations with their supervisors about their limitations and strengths.

D. A self-assessment test may not identify all the limitations or strengths that employees may possess.

E. Employees will realize their limitations and strengths better when they evaluate their own skills.
