What great leaders don't do after you resign

If after resigning from job, you hear or got notified about your ex-leader doing these :

1. Speaking negatively about the departing employee


2. Undermining the employee's decision by criticizing them, their new role or company


3. Attempting to make the departing employee feel guilty


4. Spreading resentment throughout the organization


5. Taking the resignation as a personal attack


6. Prioritizing their own interests over those of the team


7. Being absent or unavailable for the team during the transition


8. Spreading gossip about the departing employee


9. Delaying or writing vague performance appraisals or recommendations for the departing employee


10. Displaying an "it's all about me" attitude


11. Failing to acknowledge their own mistakes or shortcomings


12. Blaming others for failures or problems within the team

Well, These behaviours reveal the leader's insecurity, selfishness, and lack of confidence in their ability to develop and retain talent. This will damage team morale and trust and shows other employees they might be treated similarly if they choose to leave.

And potentially, they may burn any professional bridges by reducing future networking opportunities while creating a negative perception among current and potential employees

Without mentioning that they can really harm the organization's reputation.

Great leaders support employees through departures, maintaining positive relationships and keeping doors open for future opportunities.
