1. Be clear on the reasons. You have thought about this long and hard don’t equivocate or sugarcoat it. You owe it to them to be clear about what you think happened.
2. Use decisive language. Do not leave the discussion open-ended. This is not a performance review it’s a firing. Use words and phrases like I have decided rather than I think.”
3. Have the severance package approved and
ready. Once the executive hears the news, she will stop caring about the company and its issues she will be highly focused on herself and her family. Be ready to provide specific details of the package.
Finally, the executive will be keenly interested in how the news will be communicated to the company and to the outside world. It is best to let her decide.
