From the Lose Friends series, here is what Jonar Nader has written about: HIRING AND FIRING
The advice to hire ‘slowly’ is misplaced. The speed of a good decision is irrelevant. As for firing quickly, this too is a mistake. The question of speed pertains to executing your decision once you have made it, not to making the decision itself quickly. Firing quickly could not only be unjust and unfair to the employee, it might also be detrimental to your organisation. By firing people without fully understanding why they have performed poorly, you stand to lose the opportunity to pinpoint the bad circuitry. Removing the employee might not equate to removing the problem.
