-greatest failure-
every time you walk an agent out of the door due to attrition, it is always your fault
i did not believe this before but now that i had to terminate somebody due to behavior, I have realized that indeed it is a failure on my end. I failed that agent. i failed to correct his/her behavior. i failed to give him/her direction.
it is tough because each agent creates a bond with me, a special connection. it is as if a tiny piece of you is reflected in them. and yes, when you let them go, that tiny piece has a tendency to be magnified, be it your failure or your success.
i just walked an agent out of the door. no matter how painful, it is part of the job that i accepted with the promotion. and as i silently cry, i blame myself for failing this agent - another agent that i have to walk out the door.
