The Fear of Firing
March 31, 2016
My mother always used to say: The older you get, the better you get, unless you’re a banana.
-Betty White (1922 – 2021) as Rose in The Golden Girls

Firing a staff person is never an easy task, but on occasion is the only appropriate course of action. The article, "Overcoming the Fear of Firing" in the March 2016 issue of Exchange Magazine incorporates the suggestions of 30 directors in handling this situation. In the article, one reason a director may fear firing was noted:

"...a director may run the risk of incurring the ill will of other employees who may have liked the person who was fired and do not understand the reasons for dismissal. The director in these instances is in a defenseless position, since she cannot violate confidentiality by listing the reasons the person was fired. In the long run it is the credibility of the director that will lead to acceptance or non-acceptance of this decision."
