When Good People Are No Longer Right for Your Business

Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when somebody on your team is a good person — but no longer right for where the business is going?That can be one of the hardest decisions a business owner has to make.In this episode, Peter Boolkah uses professional football as a way of looking at talent, performance and the difficult decisions growing companies eventually face.Football clubs continually assess whether their squad is capable of competing at the next level.Businesses need to ask the same question.You'll discover:Why a strong performer in one company may struggle in anotherWhy culture and team fit matter as much as a strong CVHow growing businesses can outgrow people's current capabilityWhy keeping somebody out of loyalty can restrict the whole organisationThe difference between a bad employee and somebody who is simply wrong for the next stageWhy leaders need to continually assess the strength of their teamHow tolerating underperformance creates a ceiling on growthWhy replacing the wrong person can create room for better talentThe question every business owner should ask about the people they would not rehire todayA difficult people decision does not automatically mean somebody has failed.Sometimes the business has simply moved to a level that requires something different.The question is not whether someone is a good person. The question is whether they are still the right person for the team you need next.CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAHWebsite: https://www.boolkah.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoolkahX: https://twitter.com/boolkahABOUT PETER BOOLKAHPeter Boolkah is a business coach, author and speaker who has spent more than 20 years helping business owners build stronger, more valuable businesses that do not depend on them for everything.He is the creator of The Hamster Wheel Trap® and author of Your Business Sucks: Build a Business That Works Without Destroying Your Life.Peter works with founders and leadership teams on the issues that ultimately determine whether a business creates freedom or becomes another job: leadership, founder dependency, people, profit, execution, scaling, exit readiness and enterprise value.His approach is direct, practical and built around one simple question:Do you own the business, or does the business own you?Learn more at https://www.boolkah.com
