Experience is what we learn from the bad decisions we make; however, some people don't learn from their bad decisions. So, it isn't important. Judgment comes from how we decide things to the best of our ability. Judgment is extremely important. How someone uses their judgment can be extremely important in keeping them from making a poor decision.

Ah, contradiction of videos. I see where Mike is trying to go with this but I'm not sure I can totally agree with it. It's hard to say a judgment isn't based off of experience, more often then not they go hand-in-hand. But I understand his point as far as being experienced in poor judgment, not everyone learns from the right experience or experience at all. It's a very different way of thinking about this because most people don't make such a distinct difference in each concept. Personally I never view an experience as a mistake. A failed scientific experiment is still useful data, and I think that can translate into this topic as well. No matter what I'll still update my resume!

I think this judgement versus experience video was a good one. I believe that both are important and I have used bother wether i'm working at home or school. Having good judgement is somewhat based on morals I feel. Like when its the right thing not to lie or steal or claim something false on something. Experience I feel is important as well because if you have made a bad choice in the past and experienced the outcome of that choice more then likely you won't make the same decision twice. And I have always thought that the more you experience the more of a better judge you will be.

This is interesting to me. What has always been taught to me is that experience is one of the most important things you need in life. I never thought about it being mistakes. However, everyone makes mistakes during their experiences. Maybe we need to pay attention to our mistakes more and really learn how to avoid making the same mistakes over and over.

I love this video. I really like the quote, "experience is just another name we give to our mistakes". I am torn between whether I think experience or judgement is more important. I think it depends on the situation. Often times, I think experience is way better. When learning something, you can take in all the information, especially in business classes. But, until you are out in the field, experiencing every day situations, you don't know how to actually deal with them. At the same time, if you don't have the experience, your judgement can help you to make the best decision. I think both are important depending on the situation.

Experience comes from mistakes, but judgement is a decision. Mike Rowe mentions the accounting scandals and blames judgement. Though someone is naturally going to make mistakes, somethings are wrong because people did not make the right judgement calls. Judgement can be improved over time due to mistakes, however, some people are inherently not good judges of character or decision making which can lead to many problems for companies.

Well, that is certainly a very blunt and informative video. One of the biggest issues among humans and the world is that often think that we are only as good as our "experience" allows us to be. We make mistakes, forget about it, and continue to make the same mistake over and over again, and regard this as experience. However, the reality is that, many situations and problems in our lives and companies simply require a sense of critical thinking on our part, combined with a degree of common sense. You can have all of the experience and mistakes that you like, but without a fair judgement and good amount of common sense, you'll ultimately fail and never be productive. As humans, we use our past experiences to gauge the outcome of all current situations, and feel as though the only way to solve the issue is by using the same tactics that were used previously. Each problem presents itself as a new formula and needs a new solution. Instead of taking our past experiences as the only solution every time we are presented with a problem, we should take each problem as it presents itself, and use our personal judgements and common sense to bring out the best solution. Remembering our mistakes is one thing; Learning from our mistakes and applying what we have learned is a completely different thing altogether.

I would have to agree with this guy. Experience is extremely important, but it doesn't mean anything if you don't learn from it. The best decisions are made using sound judgment based on available information or sometimes just common sense.

I somewhat agree with him when he says that experience is only useful if you learn from it. For me, experience leads to better judgement, so the more experience one has, the better he is at making a sound judgement.

I really believe that experience will benefit you more than judgement. I feel as if going through the outcome will help you better prepare for the next step rather than just judging it. Sometimes things aren't always what they seem and your judgment maybe off. That's like telling someone how they're college experience will be, when you yourself have never attended college. I don't fully agree with this video but hey, maybe it worked for him. I just know always understand things and learn thing better once I've gone through them.

Mike Rowe talks about how experience is another name for the mistakes we have made, but we keep making the same mistakes. Experience can be made from mistakes, but I think we should learn from then, not let them keep happening. Experience, should be positive, never negative.

Experiences is just another name we give to mistakes. That is some powerful words i have to say. Because to me your judgements leads you to your experiences and sometimes they are good and some are bad.

I think it’s important to use experience and judgment together. Although a lot of our experience is mistakes, remembering experiences that had a good outcome can help in future situations with the same problems. Also, using judgment is important because experience can only get you so far. Being able to judge a situation with common sense and the information presented will allow us to make an informed decision.

Perfect. I feel that way too. Experience is another way of saying I've made mistakes doing this or that. So if mistakes, we might as well quit updating our resumes experience section, right? People that have management experience feel as though they are veterans at managing people, but really and truly, they are great at making sound judgments when necessary.

I think the video makes sense in some situations but not in all aspects. I think the examples used were a little biased but they did get the point through. I think a mix of judgement and experience in a leaders decision making style are a good combo to have than either one of the two.
