RE: Making a graceful exit, your guide to off boarding successfully
thanks for the post. in a perfect world when leaving that is the perfect exit strategy. In my life last year, I ended up finding out whie in Vegas, visiting Zappos, that my 2 managers were fired. It didn't take long for the rest of our team including myself, of being let go 2 weeks later. Perfect memo from me, A leader always eats last. Not to mention, A leader at the top has to know how to steer the ship. Good luck on your future endeavor. Your blog sounds like you had a perfect exit. Doesn't always occur these days. Matt, Chicago
Thanks Matt, it wasn't a perfect exit. Some of the core team had strong emotions about my notice to leave, but ultimately it's the best for me and my family. As a manager I've watched too many get let go and I've done my due diligence to right the ship. Those above me fight against every instinct to do the best for it's employees over profit. Managers leaving; especially being let go, can be a signal that it's time to go. Stay vigilant. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
