Severing The Ties That Bind: Leadership Challenges for Servant Leaders

How do you release an employee, especially if he/she is a friend, without humiliating that person or making an enemy of him/her? This is one of the toughest tasks for any leader whether or not it involves a friend. Involuntarily releasing an employee (termination) often has a profound impact upon the individual. Therefore, it should never be taken lightly. Most leaders don't do a good job of this-be it a secular or Christian organization. However, there are times when a leader has to let someone go from their organization. This can be done with dignity and grace but it takes some planning. In this monograph, you will learn the four basic questions that servant leaders must answer before terminating an employee. When termination is determined to be in the best long-term interest of the organization, you will learn how to do it with the welfare of the individual and the organization in mind.
