Describe the rational and sensible management process you follow in both hiring and firing.
Example: “My whole management approach is to hire the best people I can find, train them thoroughly and well, get them excited and proud to be part of our team, and then work with them to achieve our goals together. If you do all of that right, especially hiring the right people, I’ve found you don’t have to fire very often.
“So with me, firing is a last resort. But when it’s got to be done, it’s got to be done, and the faster and cleaner, the better. A poor employee can wreak terrible damage in undermining the morale of an entire team of good people. When there’s no other way, I’ve found it’s better for all concerned to act decisively in getting rid of offenders who won’t change their ways.”

First of all, people should be fired by someone that knows them well. If not, then this person should be present in the room. The direct person that thinks that this person should be fired always should be present, in case the person that is being fired has some questions regarding this process.

I guess I can point out some guide lines but every man / woman will can handle this differently so it's best to know the person that is being fired.
