Description

Jason tackles one of the hardest parts of leadership: deciding when it's time to let someone go. He starts with Packard's Law, which says no company can grow faster than its ability to get enough of the right people to carry that growth. He then walks through three practical tools for getting clear on whether the right people are in the right seats: the Keeper Test from No Rules Rules, Jim Collins' key seats evaluation, and the People Analyzer from Traction. Jason also shares a personal reflection on the weight of these decisions, and why he sees them as repositioning someone to a place where they can fit and thrive, handled with respect.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What Packard's Law says about the link between company growth and having the right people
• How the Keeper Test works: if this person were leaving, would you fight to keep them?
• Jim Collins' key seats metric, and why filling fewer than 90% of key seats with the right people makes it your number one priority
• The questions that separate a values problem, a will problem, and a skills problem, including a person's relationship to the window and the mirror
• How the People Analyzer scores someone against your core values, and why these decisions should come from respect and care for everyone involved

If one of your team members told you tomorrow that they were leaving, would you fight to keep them?
