Letting People Go

If you’re committed to excellent leadership, you’ll have to replace employees who aren’t a good fit. Further, a willingness to replace underperformers, or those in the wrong job, sends the message to your organization that you set a high standard for performance. Done properly, that standard will permeate throughout the whole organization. Leaders must embrace this management challenge and should adopt best practice to avoid common pitfalls that make the task of termination even more difficult.
