Leaders who are quick to fire people and give warnings tend to be effective bosses because by waiting for others to recognize the issue, it avoids creating a climate of fear within the organization. This approach, exemplified by Ed Catmull's leadership at Pixar, emphasizes the importance of removing negativity from the system without instilling fear among employees. Slowing down and allowing the broader team to recognize problems before taking action can foster a positive work environment, even at the cost of significant decisions.
