The past year we experienced the workplace phenomenon referred to as the Great Resignation, where a disproportionate number of individuals chose to leave their employment for other opportunities, or in some cases, none.
Resignation may be apt to describe how many people feel when they choose to leave their job. We sometimes refer to it as quitting, but is it? For many, it is the realization that the company will not change and that they do not fit into the culture as they had hoped. So why commit most of your time to an organization and leaders that do not leave you fulfilled and invigorated? Consider that.
As leaders, we should possibly appreciate that people are at the ends of their tether and finally cannot hold on any longer. If they resign, it is their acceptance of expecting little change from the company, and needs to make a decision that will bring them much joy. On the other hand, if they remain in adverse conditions, it is merely a resignation that nothing will change, but sadly they have lost hope in expecting better.
