The Number 1 Reason to Fire People

Human Resources decisions are challenging. They should be. After all, people are not resources but humans. These people have families. They have friends. They’ve committed to the organization and potentially to you.

In this NEW POST, I outline the process I’ve used to let people go. It’s never an easy thing to do, but it’s often the kindest thing we can do.
