2.122 When It’s Just Not Working: How to Make the Hard Call with Your Team

Season 2 Episode 122 Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description

As a business owner, one of the hardest decisions you’ll ever face is knowing when someone just isn’t the right fit for your team — especially when you've already invested time, money, and energy into them. 

In this episode, Karen draws inspiration from an unexpected source: Gordon Ramsay. Yep, the fiery chef from Kitchen Nightmares offers a surprisingly perfect metaphor for what to do when a team member is holding your business back. 

You’ll learn: 

  • Why keeping someone in a role they’re not suited to doesn’t serve them or your team 
  • How to spot the signs and have the tough conversation (with compassion) 
  • The key recruitment and onboarding strategies that help you hire right the first time 
  • Why psychometric testing, structured interviews, and behavioural clarity matter more than you think 

If you've ever said “but they're really nice…” while avoiding a performance issue, this episode is your wake-up call.
