Is it ok to fire someone who doesn’t align with your ideas after a year?
Does it show instability or strength for the organization ?

On the other hand having a 45% turn over ratio because "people don't align with your vision" is a tale tell sign that you either have no vision or you're a horrible boss.
That would be my core basis for judgement. Are they performing up to expectations.
I believe the best environments are when ideas are challenged. I do not want a bunch of subordinates who can't think for themselves. I'm also smart enough to know that not every idea I have may be the best to achieve the end result I desire. So that's why it's important to foster an environment where new ideas can be brought forward and discussed.
You don't want a bunch of "yes" employees around just to stroke your ego. Unless that's what you need.
We pay you.
You haven't been able to get on board with the way
it's done around here.
As of now, you don't work here.
Here is your final check, we hope the best for you
on your future endeavors.
Sorry it did not work out. Bye.
The companies work force as a whole depends on management to keep the ship afloat. They and their families depend on the owner, or management to make these difficult assements and actions.
The guy that don't fit, he has to go. The quicker the better. To vasilate, to hem and haw around, hurts all
the longer it takes.
As long as it's not something personal, as long as the guy is a detriment to the company as a whole,
the quicker, the stronger the action.
A good manager has 3 main jobs, all very important.
-Share the vision
-Clear the path
-Celebrate the success
If done well, I guess that you could say that there is an obvious 4th thing:
-Repeat
A manager/lead/supervisor should be the king of all ideas? Nope. Can they or will they be wrong, Yep. Is the input and ideas of workers important, yep. instability or strength? Well if you don't have policies and mission statements as some sort of base line guideline, then yes a top heavy reputation could be looked at as unstable and weak.
So many variables. If you are a mom and pop business, then your incompetence/competences is your own demise/success, so fire away, at the end of the day its your business right? Corporate world has so many levels to meet, and avenues to be fired/removed from a position... Safety, Production, expectation, laundry list of HR.....etc
