How to Cut Back Without Damaging the Team | Don't Shout at the Vegetables Book Launch Series

Pruning and punishing look similar from the outside. They are not the same thing. This episode is about how to reduce, stop or scale back without breaking trust. ——— Cutting back is one of the hardest things a leader does, and it's usually done badly — not because the decision was wrong, but because of how it was made and how it was explained. Max Kent and Charlotte de Brabandt talk about intelligent reduction: how to decide what to cut, how to do it in a way a team can understand rather than fear, and why the goal is a healthier organisation rather than simply a smaller one.
