I think managers are making a huge mistake if they think they are being “compassionate” by not dealing with it and letting the person ride it our for a few years. It’s actually showing a lack of respect to the individual, and it’s especially hard on the rest of the team that has to pick up the slack. Even worse if the RIP is a manager – pity that RIP manager’s poor employees. How about if we leave a copy of your book on their desk with a bow? It would be like handing someone a career breath mint. BTW, I love your videos – keep up the great work! Jason –
