216. How to Know When It's Time to Leave a Job (The Great Resignation, Part I)

Published: May 24, 2021, 9 a.m.

According to a recent survey from Microsoft, 40% of workers are considering leaving their job within the next year. That is what is keeping me up at night. How am I as a leader supporting my team members to fulfill their potential and their purpose in our organization? As a thought leader on leadership and career development, how am I giving you the tools you need to make the right choices for yourself?\n\nThis week we\u2019ll be exploring topics on all things job-related. It will be less about the tactical things related to a job search, interviews, networking (but I\u2019ve got episodes for you on all of those topics!). This week will focus more on the thought process that goes into deciding whether it\u2019s time for a new job or you just need to re-energize yourself at work, the most important questions to consider before taking a new job, and how managers can support team members who are likely going through these career questions for themselves.\n\nIt\u2019s not always clear when it\u2019s time to leave a job. Sometimes it hits you like a lightning bolt, sometimes it\u2019s little things that add up to become a big thing, and other times you\u2019re just living through a pandemic and it makes everything a lot less clear.\n\nThis episode will share warning signs when it\u2019s time to think about leaving your job (albeit not an exhaustive list).\n\nYour One Bold Move: It\u2019s not always clear when it\u2019s time to leave a job, but look for the warning signs in your work environment and in your heart.\n\nFor more from Shanna:\nTo get my leadership and career insights directly to your inbox twice monthly, text SHANNA to 66866 or visit https://www.shannaahocking.com/subscribe\nWebsite - https://www.shannaahocking.com\nInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/shannaahocking\nLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannaahocking\n\nWhen you make your #oneboldmove, tag me on social, so I can cheer you on!\n\nLinks referenced in the episode:\nI Want Your Job Boss: https://www.shannaahocking.com/oneboldmoveaday/2020/12/6/episode-119-i-want-your-job-boss\nHow to Ask for a Promotion: https://www.shannaahocking.com/oneboldmoveaday/2021/1/26/episode-140-how-to-ask-for-a-promotion\nHow to Stay Motivated When You\u2019re Not Receiving Any Recognition: https://www.shannaahocking.com/oneboldmoveaday/2021/3/18/episode-183-how-to-stay-motivated-when-youre-not-receiving-recognition\nNNTR Update (How to Show Value to Your Manager): https://www.shannaahocking.com/oneboldmoveaday/2020/7/18/episode-24-show-your-value-to-your-manager-the-nntr-update
