Knowing when to let go

The comic above is a good example of the perception about getting fired many of us grew up with. TV shows also presented losing a job in a lighthearted way - the character would shrug, put their belongings into a cardboard box and get another job.

Now that we are leaders, we know the reality is much more difficult.

Firing someone sucks.

But the only thing worse than that is not firing someone who needs to go.

In this video, I discuss how to know when it’s time to make a change and the best possible way to do this challenge but necessary action.
