Giving someone the sack

We've recently gone through the unenviable process of having to cut one of our team members loose. It's a tough job but you have to be certain that emotions don't come into your decision of whether or not to keep them on, after all, it's just business.

The concept to keep in your mind is that in order to create a world class team you need to get the right people onto the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and then get the people on the bus into the right seats.
If you can do that then you can drive the company wherever you desire!
