How to Terminate a Great Performer in a Tough Economy

Marshall Goldsmith

Q: Our company has had a terrible year because one of our divisions completely tanked. Although my division had a fantastic year, corporate cutbacks mean that I have to lay off some great people. Do you have any suggestions on how to best handle this tough situation? A: Your situation is, unfortunately, very common this year.
