When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving "to pursue my goal of running a company." Broadcasting his ambition was "very much my decision," McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.
McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. And McGee isn’t alone. In recent weeks the No. 2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don’t get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.
As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.
The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be
poached
. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey: "I can’ t think of a single search I’ ve done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first."
Those who jumped without a job haven’t always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade age, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.
Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. "The traditional rule was it’s safer to stay where you are, but that’s been fundamentally inverted," says one headhunter. "The people who’ ve been hurt the worst are those who’ ve stayed too long."
Which of the following is the best title for the text?
选项
A、CEOs: Where to Go?
B、CEOs: All the Way Up?
C、Top Managers Jump without a Net
D、The Only Way Out for Top Performers
答案
C
解析
主旨题。根据题干需从全文出发,确定文章的中心意思。第一段介绍了Liam McGee离职了,其目标是去管理一家公司;第二段介绍了McGee离任时并没有找好下一个工作,同时强调这么做的人不只他一个;第三段介绍了经济复苏出现迹象并稳定下来,“二把手”可能更愿意在没有新职位的情况下换掉目前的工作;第四段提到这并不是传统的做法;第五段举例说明,那些没有找到工作就离任的人并不是很快就能找到顶级的职位;文章末段总结高管跳槽越来越为人接受。纵观全文,C项串联全文。
