Have you Ever Regretted Firing Someone?
If not, your bar for acceptable performance might be too low.
As a young entrepreneur, I was afraid to fire people.
I thought I could train them, pull them through. But often, they didn't want to be there and didn't want to quit.
Here’s why you shouldn’t wait:
Trust your instincts
↳ If you feel they aren’t a fit, they probably aren’t.
↳ Delaying only harms your business.
People know when they aren’t wanted
↳ They sense it and it affects their work.
↳ It’s better for both parties to move on.
Training won’t always fix it
↳ Not everyone can be trained into the role.
↳ Sometimes, it’s not a skills issue but a fit issue.
It impacts team morale
↳ Keeping the wrong person affects the whole team.
↳ Your team deserves the best colleagues.
Your standards matter
↳ High standards keep your business strong.
↳ Don’t lower them to avoid a tough decision.
It’s part of leadership
↳ Making hard choices is what leaders do.
↳ Your business will thank you for it.
There’s a better fit out there
↳ For them and for you.
↳ Help them find where they belong.
It’s a learning experience
↳ Every firing teaches you something.
↳ Use it to improve your hiring process.
Protect your business
↳ The wrong person can cause issues.
↳ Don’t risk your business’s health.
Firing is never easy. But it’s often necessary. Make the tough call and keep your business strong.
