My biggest mistakes have been waiting too long to fire people.
Like, no question.
And it's not just what you think.
It's not just that that person is underperforming and you can replace that person with a higher performer.
There's something much more sinister when a founder or leader accepts underperformance, which is that it massively negatively impacts the entire culture.
So I will tell you, and this is, it's not even close, and it's a harsh thing to say, but it's just my truth, which is my biggest mistakes have been waiting too long to fire people.

Okay, which is suddenly people are like, well, he's not holding everyone to the same standard or well, you know, so I'd say to you that, but of course firing someone is a hard thing to do, right?
Like you don't want to do it, right?
Like, I mean, every time I fire someone, I remember the look in their eyes.
I remember thinking about their family.
I remember the part I would have played in it that I misjudged the role or the hire or whatever it may be.
So it's something that's very painful
but is so necessary.
And the cost of not doing it and waiting is far greater than I think most people calculate it to be.
So certainly if I think about my...
My greatest mistakes, it's been waiting too long, waiting for perfect information to make an obvious decision when it comes to firing, like not wanting to deal with the difficulty of firing someone.
