How do you know when it's time to part ways with an employee? How do you tell the difference between when to let go of an employee and when to keep them on the team? In this episode of the podcast, I talk about how I know when its time to let someone go, and how to know if it's a people problem or a process problem.

00:00:00.000 How do you know the difference between humans make mistakes and when it's time to part ways
00:00:06.640 with an employee? My framework is always, is it a process problem or a people problem? I actually
00:00:12.460 had a sales guy make a $100,000 mistake a few years ago. He called me up, felt horrible about
00:00:18.140 it. I remember listening to him. I said, are you done? He's like, what do you mean? I said,
00:00:22.240 did you learn the lesson? He said, yes. I said, good. I said, here's the thing. I know there's
00:00:27.700 no process for what you did, that's my fault. We're going to add to the process so you can't
00:00:32.820 make the mistake ever again. If I've done that and the mistake keeps happening,
00:00:36.820 then I probably have a people problem.
