Would you steal from another person? How do you handle stealing in your business? The thought of stealing in my organization makes me angry, and I’m betting it makes you angry too.

Now think about what employees you have that show up every day, they work hard….but they just aren’t cutting it. They probably were great in the past, but the company has grown…the market has changed and instead of winning every day at work now they can’t keep up…you know it…and they know it.

In his book Double Double, Cameron Herold talks about a hard lesson he learned about keeping a team member on after their season has passed….he realized that doing that was stealing from that person…stealing months or even years from them as they remain loyal to you…instead of moving to somewhere else where they can win every day.

Who do you have in your organization that fits this description? It is hard to let good people go AND it is the right thing for them, and for the organization. We don’t tolerate stealing money or things….lets not tolerate stealing time, stealing life from those who work for us. Let's support and mentor them well as they move on to their next chapter.

The leader we would want to work for would do that for us, lets be that leader for others!
