Abstract
The purpose of this research is to expand the current body of
knowledge related to exit strategies employed by ethical, enduring
leaders as they prepare to exit their current posts. This is
accomplished by using the following resources:
Scholarly literature review covering voluntary terminations,
quitting and leadership
In-depth interviews with exited leaders
In-depth interviews with Human Resources professionals from
companies the leaders exited
The common, emerging themes have been analyzed and provide the
basis for building an effective exit strategy framework; that positions
leaders to leave an organization as good or better than they found it,
prepares their staff for the exit and provides leaders with great
confidence that they are indeed “leaving well.”
