Strike up the band – to quit
A few years back I wrote of a Marine retirement ceremony complete with band..Today, we have an employee quitting with the support of a band.
Google “marriott worker quits with band” and you should find the video. Currently on USAToday.
What kind of bad leadership might cause someone to quit in such a fashion. Certainly the desire for a viral video might have added fuel to the fire but the fire was already burning as the employee thought about quitting this way.
The reaction of the manager suggests the employee may have been on target (or a habitual complainer) we dont know for sure.
I do know that for someone to consider exiting this way something was going on. Do any employees at your place feel this way?
How do you know?
" ...it was one of the most dynamic and interesting talks I have ever witnessed on general leadership and effective management. I thought it was very interesting to see how you approached the topic from the bottom up -- from the grunt's perspective. This made the topic very easy for me to relate to and gave me ideas on how to develop the leaders I am responsible for."
