Ground Your Decision in Concrete Examples

From the viewpoint of Mattew Bellows, because the decision to terminate an employee may begin with a subjective judgment, it’s important to use data to support the decision. Try to stay focused on how underperformance affected the company, Bellows suggests, “the company needed to have a closed beta test on this day and we didn’t have it until three weeks later.
