Amplification Avenue - You're Fired! What the firing of Boston Bruins Coach Bruce Cassidy says about building high performing teams.

Despite a plus .670 winning percentage, six straight playoff appearances, and a near Stanley Cup Final win, the Boston Bruins gave Coach Bruce Cassidy the gate this summer. Dr. Lauren Hajjar, Assistant Professor in the Sawyer Business School Institute for Public Service at Suffolk University argues that Bruin's GM Don Sweeney made the right call. The answer goes much deeper than a difference between generations or players who didn't respond positively to his criticism. Dr. Hajjar argues that Cassidy failed to establish a psychologically safe environment and that with a new coach and a focus on relational coordination the Bruins' front office can ensure that every member of the organization is performing at a high level.
