2.9 Your Team Already Knows Who Should Be Fired

Nobody wants to be in this position. But if you clicked on this one, you probably need it — and we’re glad you’re here.

Nothing we say can make firing someone feel good, but this episode breaks down everything you need to know to ensure you’re letting someone go with integrity, in a way that protects your business and lets you come out the other side with your culture intact. Because firing someone thoughtfully can actually strengthen your team’s trust in you. Doing it poorly can destroy it.

Listen in to hear:

• Why firing someone is not a failure of leadership — but avoiding it when it’s necessary usually is.
• The mistakes leaders make that turn a clean exit into a compliance nightmare.
• Why most termination lawsuits aren’t about the firing — they’re about the story that doesn’t add up.
• What your team is actually watching for when someone gets let go.
• The things you should never say in a termination meeting — and what to say instead.
• Why by the time you’re ready to have the conversation, your team probably already saw it coming.
