Full Description
Every Great Leader Must Face the Hardest Part of the Job
The Necessary Goodbye is a practical, eye-opening guide to one of leadership's most misunderstood and avoided responsibilities: firing someone. Written for new and emerging leaders, aspiring executives, and anyone navigating real-world team challenges, this book delivers a confident, compassionate roadmap for leading through tough transitions.
Drawing from nearly two decades of CEO-level experience, Peter D. Banko offers a direct and deeply human approach to handling terminations with clarity, confidence, and respect. This is not another corporate management manual. It's a leadership education rooted in wisdom, real-world stories, and references to literature, psychology, music, religion, and culture.
You'll learn how to:
Handle termination conversations with empathy and precision
Reframe firing as a leadership act—not a personal failure
Preserve trust, culture, and team morale during tough decisions
Lead from your values, even when the path is difficult
If you're leading people or preparing to, The Necessary Goodbye gives you the perspective and tools to do what's necessary, and do it well.
