It’s not an easy thing to do, but the reality of being a Leader is that at some stage over the 30 days, you may be in a position where you will be obliged to ask a Member of your Triangle to leave.

= Changing Triangles = Leaving a Triangle does not mean a Member has lost the opportunity to work For Lifebushido. They have options:


 * 1) If they leave your Triangle within days 1 – 10, they can approach another Triangle Leader by email and ask to join their Triangle.
 * 2) If they leave your Triangle within days 11 – 30, they can try again the following month and become either a Triangle Leader or a Member again.

There could also be a situation where you feel that a member is totally unacceptable and should not be inflicted upon another Triangle or given the opportunity to work for Lifebushido. In this circumstance, send an email with details of the issues to: triangle@lifebushido.com.

= Guidelines For Removing a Member = A Triangle must have a minimum of 3 members at the end of the 30-day period.


 * The removal of a Member is at the sole discretion of the Leader.

You do not have to struggle with an uncooperative Member or feel obliged to keep an unproductive Member in your Triangle. At any stage of the process they can be asked to leave. This is an example of an e-mail to Remove A Member that had fallen away from the Recruit Triangle for unknown reasons:

= Example Remove a Member Email =

Dear Member:

I wanted to let you know I appreciated your immediate response to a late request to have a 1:1 conference call in the very beginning of this process. I also want to commend you on the exuberance at which you seemed to have in doing the individual recruit tasks. I think you have overcome many obstacles in your life and are doing great.

However, I feel that your involvement in the creative team project has really been lacking. In the last 5-6 days we had a thread of at least 7 e-mails directly related to the project and a few e-mails regarding the communication method for our conference call yesterday. I realize that earlier last week you were experiencing Internet connection issues; I do not know if that is the reason why there has been no response from you on any those communications. Since we hadn’t heard from you; we re-delegated tasks for the creative project - everyone else on the team making up for your part of the project. In essence the team feels that you ‘dropped out’.

I am not sure what your intentions are because we haven’t heard from you; but I feel that at this point I will have to remove you from the Triangle. I know that you have much to offer, have great creativity, have great spurts of energy and seem to be a truly sincere person. I wish you all the best and hope that you are able to find the right fit very soon.

Regards,
