[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have had discussions from day 1 about how things needed to change. His performance reviews going back 10 years said the same things needed to change. The company paid for an executive coach for him to try to fix the same issues to no avail. I have no question that it’s the right decision. I just feel bad about it. [/quote]

I guess I’m wondering why no one cut him loose before if that’s the case.  [/quote]

Same. Why now and why you?[/quote]

Unfortunatley, this happens a lot. Plenty of people are given (yes given) jobs they're not good in, but no one wants to have the difficult conversation, so they kick the can. Then they leave it to the new/capable leader to inform them. I've told multiple folks at evaluations (not being fired or anything) that their previous managers did them a disservice by not affording them the opportunity to improve with support. It's a disaster for organizations and teams, but companies let it happen in exchange for comfort. [/quote]
