When It's Time For Someone To Go: Handling the most difficult conversations

Episode #34 // Sometimes a leader has to let someone go, either because of the choices an individual makes around their behaviour and performance, or through no fault of their own when their role is made redundant.

This episode deals with termination for performance reasons, and gives a brief but practical outline of these difficult situations.

We start by making sure you understand the responsibility you carry as a leader to ensure that all your people perform to an acceptable standard; it’s all about what happens before you decide that someone has to go that really matters.

Know “when” the right time is to make a significant decision like that, and our dozen ‘rules of thumb’ for handling these situations will give you a new-found confidence.

Take this on board, and don’t be that leader who avoids making necessary decisions on under performers through fear, dread, or weakness.
