Unfortunately, many people need to worry about being fired on the spot when they give notice.
Senior leaders in Silicon Valley are among the best-educated, most sophisticated, and savviest executives you’ll find anywhere. Yet over the course of placing senior high-tech leaders in new positions over the past 14 years, I’ve seen far too many make fundamental mistakes that cast a cloud over their leaving their old employers.
Other than the admonition to resign diplomatically, little detailed advice has been available about how to leave one’s current company the right way. Even less research has been done on leaving well. To close that gap, my firm undertook aof more than 700 senior executives and human resources officers. Only 16% of the senior executives reported that they would have done nothing differently the last time they voluntarily resigned.
Nevertheless, if you are going to a competitor, say so. Being less than forthright will only compound the resentment when you’re inevitably found out and saddle you with a reputation for evasiveness. Tell your current company that you are crystal clear about your obligations to them and that you have already talked about the issues with your new company.
Take every precaution to avoid the suspicion that you might be taking valuable data, technical information, or customer information with you. That means resisting the natural inclination to transfer or delete files from your computer that you regard as personal or of no consequence to the business. If you want to transfer some personal files, do it in front of an HR person. And don’t erase company files, because under forensic examination it can look fishy.
Before springing your decision on your boss, go first to a trusted advisor to get coaching and another perspective. This critical initial conversation will give you the opportunity to talk through your personal and professional reasons for leaving and how you plan to mitigate the effects on colleagues and the company. It will also give you an initial reaction to your decision.
