How to Fire Someone
Go read Jerry's recent column for Inc on how to fire somebody.
You'll see why he is such a great board member, consigliere, adviser, and all around great guy.
I agree with Jerry that firing someone is one of the most difficult things you have to do in business.
Further, doing it well is the mark of a great manager.
There are some CEOs in my portfolio that have amazing relationships with people they've fired. It's a sign of a great manager if you can pull that off.
Gee, that's not how Trump does it.

That's right. And I'd fire Trump's ass if I were on his board. Is financial success the ONLY metric for quality management? I don't think so.
Sincerely,
Jerry Consigliore Colonna

This should also be in the due-diligen that a CEO runs on a VC to find out
- If and how he/she has fired senior exec in the company he/she invested in
- How the process was managed
- If the ex-CEO is still on speaking term with his/her former investor

What if it's the other way around? How can I prove that the one who's stealing is the boss herself. Ever since she started about a half an year ago, things have been missing all the time. I know it's her!! I don't have prove. she tells me she's just borrowing it or didn't have time to make a transaction. I'd tried talking to the district manager, and he doesn't listen. I've been at the store way longer than her. It's makes me angry to know that my boss is the one who's causing all the inventory shortages. Please help me and give me some advice. thank you.
