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."
It can be inferred from the last paragraph that
选项
A、top performers used to cling to their posts.
B、loyalty of top performers is getting out-dated.
C、top performers care more about reputations.
D、it’ s safer to stick to the traditional rules.
答案
A
解析
推断题。该段第二句提到,“The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one”,意思是金融危机使得跳槽或离开糟糕的岗位更加容易被接受。后面 引用一个猎头的话进一步证明这一观点,猎头说:传统的规则认为待在原地更安全,但是这已经 从根本上改变了。那些最受伤的人是那些待在原地最长时间的人。A项是对文中“The traditional rule was it’s safer to say where you are,but that’s been fundamentally inverted”的同义替换,故A 项为正确答案。B项属于偷换概念,把“顶级经理人下台带来的不光彩”偷换成“顶级经理人的忠 诚”;C项属于过度引申;D项属于反向干扰,故排除。
