To Fire or Not to Fire

"Removing people will always be the hardest decision a leader faces. Anyone who 'enjoys doing it' shouldn't be on the payroll, and neither should anyone who 'can't do it'.
- Jack Welch in Jack, Straight From The Gut

My Take :
Achieve balance between the two.

Job Security

"Any organization that thinks it can guarantee job security is going down a dead end. Only satisfied customers can give people job security. Not companies."
- Jack Welch in Jack, Straight From The Gut

My Take :
Stay competitive at all levels. Thats your job security.

Be a good Boss

"There is probably nothing worse in business than to work for a boss who doesn't want you to win. This can happen anywhere, and at any level - and probably occurs more often than we think."
- Jack Welch in Jack, Straight From The Gut

My Take :
1. Work for a boss who wants you to win.
2. Be a good boss yourself. Want your colleagues to win. Root for your team.
