When Is It Time to Let Someone Go?
Manage episode 523575404 series 3532645
Every leader eventually faces this moment — the moment you realize a team member might not be the right fit.
You’re frustrated. You’re drained. You’re questioning yourself. And you’re wondering:
“Do I keep helping… or is it time to let them go?”
In this episode, Kristina breaks down a practical 3-step framework to help leaders make this gut-wrenching decision with confidence and compassion.
You’ll learn:
✔ How to separate feelings from facts
✔ Why your belief about someone’s potential matters more than you think
✔ The real impact of values alignment (or misalignment)
✔ How to evaluate progress, effort, and your own capacity as a leader
✔ The signs you’re “managing around” someone — not managing them
This episode is both refreshing and uncomfortable — in the best way — especially if you’re carrying the emotional weight of this decision right now.
