Letting someone go isn't an easy decision.
But some red flags can’t be ignored:
- Missing deadlines and delivering low-quality work
- Poor cultural fit—hurting team morale
- Resistance to feedback and no growth
When you face these issues, you need to act.
Here’s how to handle it:
- Conduct a compassionate but firm exit conversation
- Communicate the departure to the team clearly
- Ensure the team stays motivated and maintains momentum
It’s tough, but necessary.

I'd love to hear from you. Tell me where you are, or book time straight into my calendar. If we speak, it's a working session, not a pitch. You'll answer three short questions when you book, so we start from something real.
