Leila Hormozi: 作为一名管理者，我深刻理解解雇员工是一个艰难但必要的决定。解雇不应被视为惩罚，而是一种战略举措，旨在保护公司、维护团队文化和价值观，并防止不合适的员工拖累优秀员工。我发现，最糟糕的情况莫过于出于内疚而留住不合适的员工，这实际上会让整个团队付出代价。因此，我创建了一个框架，帮助管理者更清晰地判断何时应该解雇员工。这个框架包括四个方面：未能履行职责、违反公司价值观、拒绝接受反馈以及表现出冷漠。此外，我还强调了区分员工是“感冒”还是“癌症”的重要性，前者可以通过培训和支持来改善，而后者则需要彻底清除。我始终认为，领导力不是为了避免不适，而是为了每天为公司的使命和团队的利益做出正确的选择。在解雇员工时，清晰、直接和快速的决策至关重要，因为缓慢的决策会损害公司的发展势头和文化。
