The Dirty Little Secret of Successful Companies; New York Times, 2/8/11

Jay Goltz, New York Times; The Dirty Little Secret of Successful Companies:

"If you want to run a great company — a company they gives great customer service and delivers a great product and has happy employees and a good bottom line, you occasionally have to fire people. Who? The people who after exhaustive training and coaching and counseling cannot do the job. The people who would probably be rated a six on a scale of one to 10. You’ve probably already parted company with the people who rate worse than a six – but it’s the sixes who can be tricky. They’re not that bad, but they’re just not good."
