How to Leave a Job Gracefully

Advice about how to secure a position at a new company is plentiful, but little has been said about how to leave your current company the right way. Even less has been done in the way of research. To close that gap, we undertook a national survey of more than 600 senior executives who have voluntarily left their employers and more than 100 senior human resources officers who manage such transitions. We asked respondents about best and worst practices in voluntary resignations, the career consequences of the manner in which someone exits, and best practices in preparing for a new job. The results of this research, can help transitioning executives make their exit with forethought and tact, enhancing their reputation and their career.

Key findings include the following:

• The overwhelming majority of respondents (84% of HR leaders, 81% of transitioning executives) agree that leaving one's job poorly will adversely affect one's future career.

• The chief adverse consequences of a clumsy departure, say HR leaders and transitioning executives alike, are a damaged reputation and strained relations with former mentors and colleagues.

• Among the worst mistakes that people make in transitions, the most frequently cited was "criticizing the company, the boss, management, or colleagues during the transition."

关于如何在新公司担任职位的建议有很多，但是关于如何离开现在公司的建议并不多见，在研究方面就做得更少了。为了弥补这一差距，我们对全国范围内自愿离开雇主的600多名高级管理人员和管理这种过渡的100多名高级人力资源官进行了调查。我们向受访者询问自愿辞职方面的最佳和最差做法，退出的方式和一系列后果以及准备新工作的最佳做法。这项研究的成果，可以帮助过渡阶段的管理人员明晰退出的诀窍，提高他们的声誉并有益职业生涯。

主要发现包括：

•绝大多数受访者（84％的人力资源领导者，81％的高管人员）同意离职不顺利会对未来的事业产生不利影响。

•人力资源领导人和转型行政人员表示不明智的离职的主要不利后果是声誉受损，与前导师和同事关系紧张。

•人们在过渡中最糟糕的错误中，最常见的是"在转型期间批评公司、老板、管理层或同事"。
