Fire Fast? Not So Fast. What Great Leaders Do First

Send us a text

We’ve all heard the phrase “hire slow, fire fast.” But in real life? It’s not that simple - and rushing the process can do more harm than good.

In this episode of Vision To Grow, we’re digging into what really needs to happen before you even think about letting someone go. Because great leadership isn’t just about making hard calls, it’s about doing the work before things go sideways.

I’m walking you through a more intentional, values-driven approach to handling team performance, so you can avoid unnecessary exits, protect your culture, and build a business people actually want to be part of.

Inside this episode:

✨ What to do before firing becomes your only option
✨ How to design roles, set expectations, and build feedback loops that prevent problems early
✨ Why culture alignment is just as important as performance metrics
✨ The right way to navigate tough conversations - with empathy, clarity, and legal confidence
✨ What great leaders do differently to create stability and trust on their teams

Firing fast might sound decisive, but leading well means taking responsibility first. This episode will show you how to lead with both strength and heart—no matter how tough the situation.

Ready to build a team culture that handles challenges before they become crises? Let’s go.
