What is it really costing your organisation to keep the people who have stopped contributing – the deadwood – and when is it time to bite the bullet?
Every organisation has them. Deadwood. The people who were once genuine assets but have quietly become liabilities. The committee member who turned up reliably for years and now attends erratically and contributes little. The staff member whose performance was once the benchmark and is now a daily management challenge. The board director who built their reputation in a different era and hasn’t kept pace with where the organisation needs to go.
