Of all the videos I have seen on this subject, this man just gave by far the most honest, most raw, most helpful advice on this subject.

I give you credit for addressing THIS particular question: firing someone you care about.

Wow , I was just fired over the phone by my uncle who I worked for for 15 years , we had a disagreement the previous day which I apologized for and he accepted ,but the next day he called me and said he accepted my apology but he doesn't want me to work there anymore . Everything opposite from this video and teaching . Thank you Pastor Craig , I love this .

[@davidadetona4204]

Clear and balanced response. Thank you @craiggroeschel

[@roxannmoore5323]

How about when you state there’s a problem with the performance… (boss to employee) when there’s a response such that reflects a deficit on your part (not providing needed tools, changing direction midstream due to lack of planning and with out clear communication, micromanaging…) there might be an awareness as to why this person has not been ‘performing’ up to snuff. With that awareness, review your management skills/ style and change the areas that would in turn allow others under your leadership to flourish. Even better, have peer mentors who give you frequent feedback to assist you the leader to better equip your employees to do the jobs for which they were hired!

[@jessecoonen7881]

What about knowing when to quit?

[@MrRoombastic]

you quit when you are unhappy about the situation you're currently in, and there's no way to fix it at the job you're currently working

[@parler8698]

If you hire correctly, you won't have to fire.
