The hardest leadership decision I ever made wasn’t firing someone too soon.
It was waiting too long and continually pouring into someone who wasn’t changing.
I kept telling myself I was being merciful and helpful.
I convinced myself that giving them more time would eventually lead to the change I wanted to see.
But sometimes, continuing to pour into someone isn’t helping them—it’s delaying a necessary decision.
Leadership means knowing when patience becomes avoidance.
