372: Why Does It Feel So Hard to Fire Someone?

Have you ever felt sick to your stomach just thinking about firing someone? You've tried the feedback, you've offered support, you've given second, third, maybe even fourth chances by way of action plans, performance improvement plans. Maybe you even redefined their whole work plan for a period of time. 

But things still aren't clicking, and now it's not just their performance on the line. It's your energy, your team's momentum, and the health of the whole business is upended. 

In this week’s episode of the Stacking Your Team Podcast, I’m sharing why letting someone go feels so tough and how you can shift from guilt to grounded leadership that protects your vision.
