One of the most uncomfortable actions in business is the termination of an employee. When an employee is terminated, there is pain for each party involved. Many people postpone the inevitable termination and this only increases the pain and frustration.
Your strategic thinking business coach has some tips on how to terminate someone properly so both parties get through the process.

+ Get right to the point. Be direct and do not engage in small talk. Get right to the point and inform the employee of the bad news of being terminated.

+ Be brief in providing any reasons for the termination and do not engage in a long discussion over what went wrong or what might have been. You may want to offer one or two reasons for the termination.

+ Be professionally prepared for the termination by assembling all materials for the termination in advance. This means having the final paycheck, any severance pay, personnel forms, insurance and other information ready when you inform the employee of the termination.

+ Move quickly and expeditiously to get the terminated employee out of the office as soon as possible. Have security or appropriate support personnel ready to assist if necessary.

+ Be courteous and professional in your interactions with the employee being terminated. Shake hands, express thanks for the employee’s contribution to your company and wish him or her well.

+ Conduct the termination on a Friday. This gives you the weekend to deal with problems that may arise from the termination and enables you to announce the termination to the staff and start off the week fresh on Monday.

If you would like to learn more about strategic business decisions and some challenging follow-up actions, like the termination of employee, and how a strategic thinking business coach can facilitate and guide you in that endeavor, please contact Glenn Ebersole today through his website at www.businesscoach4u.com or by email at jgecoach@aol.com

Business Innovation - Hi Simon If you can finish off the Business Plan and think about your strategic direction or how you are going to use your product to convince people it's a great idea, it will set the foundation for your programming project. You see, when you are looking for funding you will need a Business Plan and Strategic Plan that will convince companies to invest into your new idea. Has anyone achieved this idea before using another industry besides health and fitness that you know of? You should also design some mockups as a "preview" for your programming project. This will also help reduce your programming costs as everyone will know exactly what you want if you have detailed mockups already completed including any functionality you require. Starting mockups for websites and software applications on paper is the best way if you're not a guru in graphic editing software.
Re: Business Coaching Resources - You're fortunate when you can find a Business Coach who has experience beyond where you've been and even where you are going. When your budget is slim and even after, it's good to have a mentor. Several of various backgrounds are very useful. They can be teachers, professors, pastors, business people, family members, bosses and former bosses. You have to be clear on what you want and what you desire to achieve, be able to convey it as simply as possible. Stop and listen and don't over tax their time. You should always expect results whether from a Business Coach or Mentors. If you're not gtting results, you're either not focused or you need to upgrade the quality of your mentors/coaches. Always surround yourself by people smarter than you.
My entry - 1. The Best Business Books Ever: The 100 Most Influential Business Books You'll Never Have Time to Read - this is a fascinating book about the history of Business theory, and I'd recommend it to anybody. 2. The Big Book of Small Business: You Don't Have to Run Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants, by Tom Gegax. Ditto. 3. PADI: The Business of Diving Book Okay, so this book won't be of use to anyone who doesn't want to start a scuba store, but I did, and this book was of course invaluable to me in reaching that goal.
