In the latest episode of our "Clarity" podcast, the Thomson Reuters Institute’s Rabihah Butler sits down with David Sanford, Chairman and Co-founder at law firm Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight, to talk through his thoughts on corporate executive transitions, and the accompanying red flags, rules agreements, and emotional sensitivity issues.
For corporate executives, separation of employment can be a very sensitive situation, and it must be handled appropriately by all parties involved.
Why you should listen:
- Identify misalignment — During an executive separation, it is important to recognize the signs of strategic misalignment early as it helps prevent costly mistakes.
- Don't manage this alone — Executives who manage their departures alone may leave money on the table. That's why experienced professionals can better identify and help prevent those losses.
- Ensuring future success — A well-managed departure can shape an executive’s future success, making it a career strategy, rather than damage control.
