How do you fire an employee gracefully?

These are some tips that can be considered:

1. Be clear and concise when you fire them
   Firing someone is a serious task, therefore it has to be taken seriously. Do not beat around the bush like asking how's the weather doing which could drag it out. 
2. Treat the firing process privately 
   This is because when you fire an employee in front of other employees, it could potentially bring down the morale and the mood of the workplace.
