Sometimes the best thing you can do for your culture is let someone go. A players love working with A players and they really don’t love working with C and D players. So if you have a team of A players and you’re trying to coach along a C or D player because you’re doing the right thing and coming from your heart, it can actually be shooting yourself in the foot.
Sometimes you gotta get let go of the people who are not performing. So that you can make sure that the top talent who are passionate about your mission and driving results don’t leave and your culture is preserved.
