2008 will be remembered for change at the highest level of many organizations. For some, change is welcome. For others, it casts additional uncertainty. Some organizations are laying off workers for the first time. Most firms have placed a moratorium on hiring. With job security low, and an every man for himself attitude, several firms experienced shake-ups in their top ranks. By November, CEO turnover surpassed 2007'ss total, and was on track to break 2006'ss record high. As the interlaced economy continues to unravel, dealing with unexpected change will be harder than ever. Stability is the new currency, so this year'ss list arrives as timely as ever. Accordingly, we present the annual publication of Retensa'ss Top 10 Biggest Quits and the most influential turnover stories of 2008.
About the Biggest Quits List
Each year, Retensa compiles a list of the top ten most influential quits across all industries. Only U.S.-based departures qualify for inclusion on Retensa'ss annual Biggest Quits List.
To make the top 10, Retensa applies three criteria: (1) the magnitude of impact in the individuals's industry or field, (2) the financial loss or loss of influence of the enduring
organization, and (3) the degree that the enduring organization is unprepared to respond. Download the full list for free from the home page, or click here: Retensa Top 10 Biggest Quits
