- Your business suffers. One wrong person can hold back an entire team.
- Your team gets frustrated. They start to question your leadership. Why aren’t you addressing the obvious issue?
- The person in question suffers too. Keeping someone in the wrong seat isn’t kind – it’s cruel. They’re likely feeling unfulfilled, out of their depth, or both.
Enter: The People Analyser
When in doubt, grab your People Analyser. This simple EOS tool helps you evaluate people against your Core Values & whether they ‘Get It, Want It, & have the Capacity to do it (GWC).’
Ask yourself:
- Core Values: Are they living & breathing your company’s values?
- GWC: Do they Get their role, Want their role, & have the Capacity to do it?
If the answer is no, then you’ve got your answer.
Stop Being Soft & Fluffy
Here’s the thing – being a ‘pussy’ about this decision doesn’t make you a better leader.
Being nice doesn’t mean avoiding the truth.
True kindness is having the courage to address the issue for the good of the business, the team, & the individual.
When you let go of the wrong person or move someone into the right seat, you create space for growth, accountability, & a healthier team.
Your Team Deserves Better
Your team is looking to you. They want a leader who does what’s best for the greater good – even when it’s hard.
So, Visionaries, don’t let that soft spot hold you back.
Rip off the band-aid. Use the People Analyser. Have the conversation.
You’ll feel better, your team will breathe a sigh of relief, & you’ll be doing the right thing for everyone involved.
Remember: you’re not running a kitten rescue – you’re running a business. Be brave. Lead boldly.
And stop being a pussy!
