Episode 299 - Three Views on Layoffs with Vic Ho, Rusty Rueff, and Daniel Fong

Faith Driven Entrepreneur

One of the hardest realities in the life of every Faith Driven Entrepreneur is that things often don't go as planned.

Unforeseen circumstances can cause all sorts of issues in a company, and sometimes those circumstances affect the people we employ.

In this episode, we're going to look at layoffs. How can we think well about these difficult situations? And how can we love our people, even in the midst of these unfortunate, massive changes?

We'll highlight three perspectives starting with Vic Ho and Rusty Rueff, two leaders who have had to implement layoffs in their own careers.

The third perspective comes from a round table discussion that William, Henry, and Rusty had with Daniel Fong, the CEO and founder, who made a choice not to lay off anybody in his company.

As we'll see in all these conversations, there's not a clear cut answer to these complex questions. Not everyone agrees and that's okay. We just want to present different viewpoints and encourage you to consult the Lord about how he might be calling you to run your business differently.

Lean in, get inspired, get challenged, and consider how you might have these kinds of conversations with other people in community who can push you closer to where the Lord is leading you.
