Train them, Ignore them, or Fire them


Listen Later

This week's episode is about dealing with challenges with employees. When should you ignore the problem, or instead fire them, or finally look to train them to be better employees. This may take a little while as they are still learning new skills and understanding how difficult these problems really can become. And if I ever need any help this show will definitely give it.

We're back with another episode of Marketing Management and Money I'm your host. Ryan Owens I'm your host. Ryan Mary. Thank you so much for joining us. Today. We are going to dive into an interesting topic of whether you should fire everybody on your staff. OR TRAIN THEM OR IGNORE THEM So I I. Love The way that you kicked off this topic, right? Because it really is you know an. All right. To. Understand what's going on here. You got to understand that we're looking at it from the perspective of what you do when someone on your staff. Is Not performing. So. there. There are essentially only three things you can do. You can ignore the problem and pretend that it doesn't exist. You can work with them, which we like to just call train because it can be where you to sit down and kind of do a little bit of Hand Holding or coaching or whatever, or it can be that. You know you're gonNA bring in some really expensive consultant to rearrange your whole organization because apparently nobody knows what they're doing. Or? Just, fire him he'd be like Gonzo. Odd. and. The funny thing is these are your three options like everyone. When when I talked to businesses and they're having problems with their employees. Like what do I do I you know I I've got this and I got this and it's like they want to make the problem bigger than it is but in reality and like well. You either want the person on your team or you don't want the person on your team. Yeah. If you want the person on your team, you gotTa do something about it now. Unfortunately, too many entrepreneurs with the ignore them route. And let's Let's start there because that's the worst option unless just get it out of the way and. When I say let's start there. It's not because I'm not giving any recommendations. I'm not gonNA teach you how to do a good job of ignoring your employees or ignoring problems that are persisting right this is saying, okay these are the red flags to look out for. Are you doing? Are you ignoring stuff that you need to take care of? Yeah and I'm glad that you presented it that way because ultimately it's like Duh don't do it. Right? Don't ignore problems in your business. 

I'm like Oh guess what this town is not cursed, right? No, you move to the one town in the entire country that has no good employees. Every other town has amazing employs like no, it's it's not that they're good people and bad people is that there are good company cultures that attract good people and then there are millennials. Just kidding I'm. Technically a millennial so I can make those jobs. I'm just kidding. But you know if you're just ignoring these problems, they're not going to go away and you're going to choke out of your good employees and it just gets worse than it gets worse than he gets worse and so it's like, yeah, you've got to you got to address the problems. And it's tough. It's hard. You know. Emotions oftentimes get involved. I can't tell you how many times. I have seen. Big Tough dudes cry really Oh. Yeah. Yeah.
