Hi Reader,
One of the toughest leadership challenges I hear about all the time is this:
What do you do when someone on your staff feels like family… but they’re no longer the right person for the role?
Let’s be honest—most of us avoid those conversations. We rationalize, delay, and hope things will somehow work themselves out. But deep down, we know it’s costing the whole team.
That’s why my conversation with Jon Gordon is so important. Jon has worked with everyone from the LA Rams to Fortune 500 companies, and he doesn’t shy away from this question.
Together, we talk about:
👉 The difference between being a family and being a team.
👉 Why avoiding accountability hurts everyone.
👉 How to love people well, even if you have to let them go.
If you’ve ever wrestled with this tension, you’ll want to hear Jon’s perspective.
