You know when it is time - 3 Principles to Follow

I have managed successfully many national and state associations.  The past 12 years I managed effectively  a state association and during that time have encountered much joy, happiness and heartache.   Building something is the joy, seeing it functuion is oure happiness, watching it change as a result of negative people is the heartache!  Let me explain.  If you stay anywhere for a period of time you will generate detractors to your management style.  It is human nature it is what it is.  My recommendation is to follow these three principles:

  1. Embrace change head on - accept the fact that what you accomplished was what was needed at that time and new horizons are ahead of you!
  2. Don't wallow in the heartache - move on and move up!  Your skills have prepared you well to take on the next challenge!
  3. Leave with dignity and respect!  It is not personal it is business and in business change is good for an organization and for you.
Summary:

If you are in a current position more than 5 years it is time to rethink your future before it is rethought for you!

Best in Life Always
