Firing like a Human

Unfortunately, there will be times when even the most thought out improvement plans don’t work out. And in these situations, it will sometimes be necessary to let a person go. This is painful for you as a manager and will have material effects on the life of your report – and as such, it can’t be a decision that is made lightly. 

In this session, we’ll provide three safeguards that will allow you to make this tricky choice confidently. We’ll ask: 

• Were you transparent with this person? 

• Did you support this person and give them the tools to succeed? 

• Did you act with integrity? 

We’ll then outline practical advice on how to hold a firing conversation.
