除了解雇那些工作做得不好的员工

How do you balance firing people fast,

and making your other employees feel like they're secure even if they screw up sometimes?
怎样才能让其他有时会搞砸事情的员工不会觉得不安？
Cuz you don't want them to feel like they're out the door on the first mistake.
因为你不想让他们觉得，只要犯了一次错误就会被开除
Yeah, sure. So the question is how do you fi,
好的，这个问题是
balance firing people fast and making the early employees feel secure?
如何在解雇他人的同时让早期员工不会感到不安？
Um, the answer is the, when an employee is not working,
答案是，判断一个员工是否该解雇
it's not like they screw up once or twice.
不是根据他们搞砸一两次
Um, anyone will screw up once or twice, or more times than that.
每个人都会犯一两次错，或比这更多

你应该关心员工，不要对他们发火
Like, be a teamwork together.
要像一个团队
Ah, if someone is getting every decision wrong, that's when you need to act.
如果某人成事不足败事有余，这个时候你就要采取行动了
And at that point, it'll, it'll be painfully aware to everyone.
这个时候其他员工也会清楚地意识到
It's not a case of the few screw ups.
这并不是搞砸几次的问题
It's a case where every time someone does something you would've done the opposite yourself.
而是这个人每次做的都与你的想法背道而驰
You don't get to make their decisions, but you do get to choose the decision makers.
你不会为员工的分内工作做决定，但是你可以选择做决定的人
And if someone's doing everything wrong uh,
如果某人每件事都做错
just like a consistent thing over like a period of many weeks or a month.

这是只犯一两次错和接连搞砸事情，
or causing problems, or making everyone unhappy is, is painfully obvious the first time you see it.
或带来问题，或让大家不高兴之间的不同，第一次遇到时虽然令人不好受，但却很明显
