Episode 42: Lisa Marshall On Exiting, Firing, and Burnout Nation [The Amiel Show] -

Sometimes it takes a wise voice unperturbed by convention to make us radically rethink everyday acts. Consider these questions:

How do you lay someone off?
How can you exit an organization gracefully?
What does it take to make meetings juicier?

Lisa Marshall wants you to consider these questions with greater maturity, clarity, and thoughtfulness. That way, in the very act of doing what you’re paid to do, you can grow into a leader others want to hire, partner with, and follow.
