Tucker Carlson, All-In
Explain Every Hard Decision
The play
Before delivering a hard decision, explain the reason instead of just the penalty.
Tucker Carlson says
Everybody in the course of life, whether a parent, an employer, or just a friend, has to deliver uncomfortable news or disagree with someone they deal with. You have a moral obligation to explain the disagreement, you can't just levy the penalty and leave it at that, you have to explain why you're doing that. It's weird for a company to fire their top performer without giving any notes.
Try this
Before making a hard call on someone, write down and share the specific reason behind it.
