Letting someone go isn't an easy decision.
But some red flags can’t be ignored:
- Missing deadlines and delivering low-quality work
- Poor cultural fit—hurting team morale
- Resistance to feedback and no growth
When you face these issues, you need to act.
Here’s how to handle it:
- Conduct a compassionate but firm exit conversation
- Communicate the departure to the team clearly
- Ensure the team stays motivated and maintains momentum
It’s tough, but necessary.
Founders: feel free to use this approach, free of charge.
