I just finished watching the Jersey shore motel episode of "The Apprentice." (It was so refreshing to watch an episode that was not oversaturated with consumer product placements and promotions.)

There is no question that the right person, Brian, was fired. Brian demonstrated the exact opposite of good leadership. A good team leader minimizes individual liabilities to find ways people can complement each other's strengths. After Brian finished the project, everyone seemed to be in tension with each other. This had been the same team that won the Burger King task; Brian mismanaged everyone into shambles.

It's not that other team members of Net Worth were perfect. But Brian was a negative catalyst of the worst kind, and his dismissal was the fairest outcome.
