Loss
Sometimes I get to help a CEO re arrange the top team. Poor or sub optimal performance will invariably be revealed by the end of a facilitated 360-degree appraisal.An operations director with great technical skill, but barely a ‘people management’ bone in his body had to be moved. He was being replaced by someone 20 years his junior. The incumbent has less technical knowledge but much greater latent people skills.
When this proposition was put to the younger man his first reaction, despite the promotion and despite the rewards, was to say that he enjoyed his current job and that he would miss it. He wanted to talk with his wife before accepting. An interesting reaction.
When we move onto another stage in our life it is almost never ‘all good’. In order to make the move there are nearly always things that we have to leave behind.
