Firing To Move Forward | Ep 17

from The Matt Ware Show

Summary: Most leaders think they’re one hire away from a breakthrough—but what if you’re actually one fire away? In this powerful episode of The Shift Podcast, Evan and Matt dive into the most avoided (but necessary) leadership move: letting someone go. You’ll learn the difference between a training issue and a character problem, five red flags it’s time to fire, and a practical 4-step framework to make the process clearer and less emotional. This isn’t about being ruthless—it’s about leading with clarity, courage, and responsibility. If you’re holding onto someone who’s holding your team back, this episode will give you the insight—and permission—you need to act.
