Leadership at the Crossroads: “Should I Fire Them?” or “Should I Lead Better?” As someone who has walked the path of both a team member and a team leader, I often encounter one of the most ignored but pivotal questions that can decide the fate of any organization or community leadership: “Should I fire him/her?” This question doesn’t show up in meetings or presentations—but it echoes constantly in the minds of many leaders managing people under them.

The dynamics are eerily similar to geopolitical uprisings.
