Recommendation

No one likes to be fired. No one likes to do the firing – and dismissing an employee can send shock waves throughout an organization. This doesn’t mean that letting someone go is never warranted, but it must be well thought-through and executed with dignity. In this episode of the podcast series At the Table, best-selling author Patrick Lencioni and his guests discuss best practices for dealing with team members who don’t thrive at their jobs. Their advice is spot-on, actionable and deeply humane.

Take-Aways

  • Firing someone must be a considered decision.
  • The first question to ask when considering firing somebody: Is the person a cultural fit for your company?
  • If a person underperforms but is a cultural fit, see whether you can find a different role for the person.
