Reasons for the Top Management C's to leave the organisation ?

In today's world, where business is at the speed of thought, every organization has to be creative, fast and efficient. When things are changing so fast, organizations go through several phases. For each pahse, organization needs people with expertise in specific skills.

So Organizations look for leaders with strength in those skills and bring them on board. Usually they will be given anywhere between 2 to 3 years time to make a difference. After that period, organization moves into another phase. That phase needs yet another set of skills and hence organization looks for people with those skills. This is the only way for the organizations to stay current and young.

It is impossible to find a person with all the skills required to steer the organization forever. It is not possible to continuously upgrade one's skills and become equally efficient like an expert in that skill. So its better for the organization to find who is already an expert in that area rather than spending time on upgrading the skills of exisiting leader.

So the c level guy, usually realizes that the mission for which he/she has been brought has been accomplished (or failed) and tries to look for other organizations where he / she can use his/her strenths effectively.

In some cases (very small nmber) the mission would be very long term or the c level guy foresees the future required skills and makes arrangements accordingly and continues in the same organization.

If we take the average longivity of a c level person in any organization accross the world, the average is coming down from time to time, that is because to beat the speed of competetion.

I think the cause is ownership. Top managers needs to have ownership of their field in the organization. If the company fails to provide ownership to his top manager, he disassociates with it. Competent Top Managers work behind company core selling propositions. They shoulder the risk and the pain onto such developments. If the company gives them the full ownership, they associate with its full life cycle. They get encouraged to bring more value to the company and like to associate with the brand thereby making it a solid brand. Incompetent managers have nothing to own so they seek greener pastures, hoping companies.

 Well ,in my opinion every individual has different life situations.So one can't standardize that because of this perticular reason top management leave the organisation.There can be so many reasons.But some very common reasons are-Better offer from any other organisation,Some family problems,sometimes they resign when the company caught in to serious fraud etc.

Severity of a bad decision by a top manager is much higher than those by an employee at lower level. It can affect the company very badly in case a decision went wrong. Top management very rarely gets a chance to correct themself and their decision, compared to an employee at lower level.

I this economic situation, CEO's are coming out from the organisation bcoz, after taking a lot of decision to overcome the economic crisis. Due to the financial deficiency, he cant able to make profit to the organization. CEO's are putting paper come out from the tension. It's the simple reason they leave the concern and carry over his personal life.

Most CEOs, CMDs or others at the top positions join an organisation only after closely understanding the pros and cons of doing so. Most of them join with a long term vision of leading the organsiation to greater heights. There is enough clarity on their part and the promoter's part as regards the objective and the path that the organisation needs to take to grow.

I would beg to differ with most of the viewpoints already stated in this debate. Agreed that the good top managers are in demand and are well-networked, this is no reason for them to look at another organisation until it satisfies their need of taking up newer challenges. No CEO or other leader would abort a ship because there is a downturn in the market and the going has got tougher. Such people, anyways, are not good leaders and would do more harm than good to an organsiation even when the going is good.

 Movements therefore happen at these levels for either of two reasons:

1) The job has become unchallenging: the challenges that were initially associated with the job have been overcome and the organisation for various reasons is now running on it's own steam or looking at moderate rates of growth. This makes the job monotonous for a genuine leader, who is not content doing a mundane job.

2) Monetary with better working conditions and challenges: There is another offer which is more difficult to refuse due to the challenges that it poses in either setting upa start-up or turning around an organisation.

I have  the priviledge of working with some of the top executives. What i have sensed is that the top management leave organization when they feel that now it is difficult for them to cope with the responsibility. They never leave because of money. At that level only two reasons have been found related: 1. Changing for position or company name and 2. Not able to fulfill their responsbilities in the best possible manner.

They leave for the good of company;as they have attained a status, they will leave only  to benefit their company and for others.

This is what i feel for the topic.

Thanks

Very often one can see the top C's in an organisation switching loyalties because of the need to have fresh challenges and more remuneration in life.

Actually there can be a plethora of reasons why they leave. It could be groupism within the company, a new investor taking reins and hence wanting his own management team etc. But most often it is the saturation level that they attain at the top both in terms of remuneration and future promotions. A CEO of a company can rise higher than that. MAybe they can become a director on the board.

Life stagnates at the top with no forward movement and likewise even in the remuneration part. A top notch CEO or Director in an organisation is given all - car, house, stock option, bonus etc. but at that level his aspirations are obviously a notch higher. Probably he might want to be a Mallya wanting to own an F1 team etc. So money does play an important part alongwith fresh challenge.

yes, if a top man like CEO, VP has resigned, it should be deemed as he is not the real leader and inefficient team motivator.any top man should have a good team of his own which executes and he shall be the moderator/caretaker of the team.nomally top management/board will give targets that takes some days to years depending on the size of the organisation and its goal.the CEO/VP etc., should see that target will be completed within given timeframe. if he fails then natuarally he will be ousted.and these things are well informed in advance by top management to every one who is going to hold the responsibilities.i just want to say if knowing all these things and simply quit the job for any one reason, definitely there is a lack of leadership in him.

Reasons for the top management level executive to leave the organisation ?

Please list out various reason...Thank u...

A good top management person is always under high demand. They will normally have large contacts and experience. Others will be watching at their performance and they may approach this person when there is a requirement. So the market is wide open for a top manager compared to other employees.

Top management will get early information about the trend of growth direction and financial status of the company. If they feel that it is not heading in the right direction, they will naturally try to quit at the earliest.

There Inability to produce results as desired by Owner/Management

I think both the organisations changing Business Need and Top brasses own initiatives for self fulfillment influences them to change the organisation.
