We mostly hear how hard it is to give negative feedback and fire people. I have been wondering about this. Yes giving negative feedback is hard and firing people is harder. However come to think of it, actually this is a easiest thing. We are all critical of others and so giving negative feedback comes naturally. We more often than not, find it easier to find mistakes rather than appreciate what’s going on well. And if a subordinate isn’t working out, firing is an easy way out. The work pressures are high and we can’t afford a non-performer on the team, right. Actually, that is the easy way out. What’s really hard is to make the non-performers succeed. That is the true challenge of leadership.
Sheer Non-sense !!!
