How to resign with confidence

Today we’re talking about how to resign clearly, concisely and on your terms.

We can get confused by our feelings of loyalty and conscientiousness.

Get this right and you are proactive, and have a simple interaction.

Get this wrong and you can find yourself being reactive and having a complicated interaction.

Here is my recommended order.

  1. Acknowledging how long you’ve been there
  1. Things you’re proud of, or team achievements
  1. What you appreciate about the person in front of you and specific support they have given you… if it’s appropriate and relevant.
  1. What you’re wanting in the future. (eg: new challenge, experience in another sector, location change,)

  1. If relevant, refer to the alignment of your future role with your strengths. (eg. there is a strong alignment to my strategy and process strengths)
  1. Be proactive and share a plan regarding handover of projects and/or sharing of knowledge with your replacement
  1. Acknowledge the notice period in your contract
  1. Identify and agree on a leaving date.

Naturally, you can change the order and choose what is relevant based on the role you’re in and how in depth an answer the person in front of you is wanting.
