  • Firing needs to be handled well: the person you’re firing today could become a key contact or client tomorrow.
    Firing is never easy, and shouldn’t be. But it is something a manager should strive to handle well. Building great teams requires picking the best talent and also removing talent that isn’t working out. Letting someone go is a painful process, but if done well, it won’t come as a surprise to them and you’ll set them up for success when they leave. Being compassionate during this process is key to building a lasting professional network.
    Joel Peterson, chairman of JetBlue and an adjunct professor at Stanford, has fired plenty of people during his long career-and he’s been fired himself.

    I’m 64, and I’ve experienced first hand boomers like this guy who’d fire you with the ease of having a morning bowel movement.

    The only way to fire someone with compassion is to give a generous severance package!

      thats actually ridiculous. if you cant do a job, you should give up that job for someone else. no one deserves anything, and everything would be a dumpster fire if unions ran everything

    This is bullshit. Firing someone who may lose their healthcare coverage, their house and their family is never compassionate. While there may be occasionally actual valid reasons to fire someone, most of the time that is not the case. You're placing all of the blame on the employee... Just so you don't have to admit that your workplace also has flaws. If you have a crappy backstabbing workplace, is it the fault of the employee who did not adapt properly to it? No! Maybe the employee actually had a spine and couldn't get low enough to lick your boots.
    HBR, this type of content just makes you look cynical and fake.

      Licking boots is part of the job
