Firing By Omission


All of us have seen or heard of good employees who resigned because of bad managers.

Part of that can be commission - the bad manager performs poorly - and yet part of that can also be due to omission: the bad manager fails to act in circumstances where action is needed.

A classic example: the manager who fails to fire poor employees may be inadvertently "firing" good ones.

Or, not promoting good employees will cause them to seek promotion in other companies.
