But once you start letting people go - the associates will not be so eager in the future to do anything that could lead to the elimination of a position. with today’s news that Toyota may cut full-time emplyees – I have to wonder what that will do to the morale at the transplant companies – all this time up until now – employees would help to eliminate jobs because – they would always get put somewhere else.

The key of course, is having a LEADERSHIP team with the ability and courage to correctly identify characteristics of the RIGHT people. Is this perhaps where many of the breakdowns take place?<br/>Adam In Jon’s book there is a lot of attenion devoted to the concept of having the RIGHT people on your bus and getting the WRONG people off the bus.

10 to 20 a year sounds like a bit much… you really have that many incurable problem doctors, I would wonder? Seems unlikely.

One man’s “I’m just trying to make suggestions to make things better” is another man’s “negative.”

To be honest that sounds a bit frustrating.
To let them go or to lay them off?
To increase morale or to scare and make everybody put on a fake smile?
