And I think we don't always do that and we need to.

How many of us have somebody that's worked for us for a long time that maybe the business has now outgrown

and we've avoided having that difficult conversation to say, I think you're great.

We've worked together for 10 years, but now is the right time to move on.

You're going to do really well somewhere else.

I'm going to give you a great reference and a bit of money to leave, but your time is up here.

But let's keep in touch and remain friends.

I've avoided over the years those difficult conversations for too long.

We have to confront the brutal facts and have those conversations right now.

So that's something you've learned in your career.

Yes.

I'm interested that you call that integrity.

It's a good way of thinking about it.

I haven't thought of it in that way quite before, but...

you're just seeing what's there and addressing it.

And doing it a nice way.

I think I value kindness in business, but doing it for the benefit of that individual that will be successful somewhere else.
