Know when to give up on a person
See page 69 (typical C&E)
Don’t avoid, be straightforward
Dealing with inadequate staff
- often a problem of fit: move do not remove (UNICEF)
- Talk w. the person
- be honest, don’t sugarcoat
- judge the job, not the person
- if it is a problem of fit, offer help
A formal firing process takes along time and needs to be well prepared and you don’t know the outcome for sure!
