My “deadwood” column on Monday about removing poor performers from their government jobs received lots of feedback and comments, with readers offering their own advice — and frustrations — on the topic.
Some readers wrote that government leaders do not deal with poor performers in part because the system is too hard to navigate. I agree the process is not easy, but leaders committed to the process and determined to take action can succeed. In addition, agencies must do a better job of selecting and preparing leaders for this difficult role and providing real-time resources to support them.
