4. When you can’t support the leadership.
You need to know where the power rests in the organization. It’s nearly impossible to change the organization working against an ingrained power structure.
Ask yourself, “If it’s always going to be like this here, would I be content staying?”
5. When your family or personal life is suffering because of the demands of the organization.
If you have to neglect one of them, your career or your family, in 20 years, which do you hope it will have been?
6. When your mind starts working against the mission of the organization.
If you would rather see the place fail than succeed; it could clearly be time to go.
7. When your relationship with co-workers or leadership is damaged beyond repair.
You should try to work out these differences, you certainly should offer grace and forgiveness, but when it is obvious that a professional relationship cannot be mended, it may be time to move forward with your life.
8. If the organization or senior leadership is venturing into immoral or unethical practices.
Don’t get caught in the next news scandal.
