Apparently, we are all going to have a number of careers throughout our lifetime, so knowing the leadership skills is a critical career management skill. Join us this week, as discuss the best way to quit your job.
Monday's Tip (The Best Way To Quit Your Job): Prepare ahead of time. Quitting your job is one of the most critical career management discussions you will ever have. Do not make it up as you go along – be very clear about what you want to say.
Tuesday's Tip (The Best Way To Quit Your Job): Preserve and enhance relationships on your way out. You don’t know where former bosses and peers are going to end up. Your best bet is to assume you’ll need a productive relationship with anyone and everyone down the road.
Wednesday's Tip (The Best Way To Quit Your Job): Get your story straight. Manage the grapevine. You can't give one reason for leaving to your boss, and tell your peers something different. You must carefully craft your story, and then stick with it.
Thursday's Tip (The Best Way To Quit Your Job): Clean out your desk before you give your notice. Do not take it personally when you are escorted to the exit, but do anticipate it happening ahead of time, and quietly, and discretely clean out your desk prior to submitting your notice.
Friday's Tip (The Best Way To Quit Your Job): Don’t badmouth anyone or the organization on your way out. Assume that anything you say will be repeated, so say only good things upon your departure.
3 Things to Remember About The Best Way To Quit Your Job:
1. You must have a well thought-out plan. You don’t want to improvise this critical part of career management.
2. It is in your best interest to depart “well”. You never know when you will run across people again, and you want them to speak highly of you.
3. Stick to your story. You need to have a departure “script”, and stick to that script regardless of who you are speaking with.
