Okay, in The Apprentice it is all about winning, but unless your organization is part of a reality TV show, this should not be your ultimate goal. The objective is to smoothly transition the employee out of the organization with as little fanfare as possible.

Experienced managers know that this can be best accomplished when you have the opportunity to offer employee choices. You might be chomping at the bit to say those words Garett Bolles Color Rush Jersey , ?You're Fired!? but it's a heck of a lot easier to have an employee say, ?I quit,? not to mention much cleaner from a legal perspective.
