The CEO Sage

How to Fire Someone Nicely | S04E03


Listen Later

For many leaders, hiring is scary enough but what about when you need to let someone go? As I promised, throughout Season 4 of Leadership Is Feminine, I'm tackling some of the most daunting and critical components of business mastery. And how to fire someone, and do it nicely, ranks right at the top for most leaders.

Knowing how to kindly part ways is an invaluable skill, not only for yourself but for the other person. You are able to soften an already difficult and very uncomfortable situation when you know how to address the problem. In this episode, I teach you some guidelines and share some wisdom on how to cause the least amount of injury and pain to both you and them.

"If I walked into your business today and asked people who worked for you if they knew what their goals were, if they knew what the result was that they're responsible for, would they know? If your answer is 'Ummm, maybe?' or 'Uh, probably not', we already know we have a cocktail for confusion when it gets to potentially firing someone." – Kris Plachy

What You'll Learn
  • Honor that pain exists in firing someone
  • Don't surprise people
  • Never assume roles are self-evident
  • Come from a clean place
