本文摘自Businessweek《商业周刊》2009年11月16日一篇题为Top Managers Are Quitting,WithoutaNewJob(顶级经理人正在纷纷裸辞)的文章，主要采用例证法、引证法，就新现象“金融危机过后美国高端职场顶级经理人纷纷裸辞”做了原因及意义分析。
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.
当利亚姆·麦吉（Liam McGee）于8月辞去美国银行行长一职时，他的解释出人意料地直截了当。他没有用通常那种模糊的借口来掩饰自己的离职，而是直接站出来说，他离开是为了“追求我管理一家公司的目标”。麦吉说，公开宣扬他的雄心壮志“完全是我自己的决定”。两周内，他首次与哈特福德金融服务集团（Hartford Financial Services Group）董事会进行了接洽，该董事会于9月29日任命他为首席执行官（CEO）兼董事长。
surprise惊讶的-- surprisingly
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.
麦吉表示，在没有找好下家的情况下离职，让他有时间反思自己到底想管理什么样的公司。这也向外界明确传达了他的抱负。而且麦吉并不是个例。最近几周，雅芳（Avon）和美国运通（American Express）的二号高管也辞职了，理由是他们正在寻找首席执行官的职位。随着董事会迫于股东压力而仔细审查继任计划，那些未能获得认可的高管可能也希望另谋高就。动荡的商业环境也让高级管理人员对让模糊的声明损害自己的声誉持谨慎态度。
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.
随着复苏的首批迹象开始显现，副职主管们可能更愿意在没有保障的情况下跳槽。根据 Liberum Research 的数据，第三季度 CEO 的更替率比一年前下降了 23%，因为焦虑的董事会选择保留现有的领导者。随着经济好转，有抱负的领导者将有无数的机会。
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."
辞去高级职位去寻找更好的职位，这种决定是非传统的。多年来，高管和猎头一直恪守这样一条规则：最具吸引力的 CEO 候选人是那些必须被挖角的人。光辉国际（Korn/Ferry）高级合伙人丹尼斯·凯里（Dennis Carey）说：“我想不出有哪一次我经手的搜寻中，董事会没有指示我先看看现任的 CEO。”
Those who jumped without a job haven't always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade ago, 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.
那些在没有工作的情况下跳槽的人，并不总能迅速获得高层职位。十年前，埃伦·马拉姆（Ellen Marram）辞去了纯果乐（Tropicana）负责人的职务，称她想当 CEO。过了一年，她才成为一家小型互联网商品交易所的负责人。罗伯特·威伦斯塔德（Robert Willumstad）于2005年离开花旗集团，怀揣着成为 CEO 的抱负。三年后，他终于在一主要金融机构担任了这一职务。
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."
许多招聘人员表示，对于顶尖人才来说，过去的那种耻辱正在消退。金融危机使得处于换工作的空窗期或离开一家糟糕的公司变得更容易被接受。“传统的规则是，待在原地更安全，但这一规则现在已经发生了根本性的逆转，”一位猎头说。“受伤最重的人是那些待得太久的人。”
