Entrepreneurship is like farmland, and everyone knows the importance of talents. But not everyone clearly knows that the core team members who have fought with themselves and made great achievements are likely to leave overnight for one of the following reasons. Although people can't be forced to stay, if an entrepreneur can grasp the hidden dangers, it will minimize the negative impact caused by the departure of executives.
The following is a detailed explanation of 25 reasons for the personal resignation of corporate executives.
I voluntarily resign (personally) 1, due to personal development needs.
Ambitious individuals, when the conditions are ripe, are usually unwilling and always feel inferior. On the one hand, they want to achieve their career by going up a storey still higher; On the other hand, they also want to verify whether they can be independent and become a leader in an industry. This is encouragement and temptation, and this resignation is the most positive energy. Whether Xu Hongge and Xiao Nan, the former senior executives of Vanke, jointly set up a new real estate company in Shenzhen, Yang Bin, vice president of Netease, Liu Shuang, former assistant president of JD.COM Mall, or brett taylor, chief technology officer of Fbook, all want to verify their value at a higher level. This kind of resignation is most likely to get the understanding, understanding and even support (investment) of the original boss.
Character: Li Xueling, CEO of Play Games More. He used to be editor-in-chief of Netease. In June, 2005, Li Xueling left Netease and started a dog-loving game. 20 12 1 1, Happy Times (Nasdaq: YY) was successfully listed on NASDAQ in the United States.
2. Differences in values and strategies
The departure between the individual and the company's development concept is the most tragic scene in resignation. Friends who fought side by side, in a blink of an eye, there were differences in strategy. In the case that the company's development strategic direction and focus could not be consistent, they could not compromise, so they had to break their wrists and give their lives to protect the car in exchange for the overall situation. For example, when Zhu, the former vice president of Kirin Games, left his post, he said that it was a paradox for the company to let employees who "have always had an entrepreneurial mentality" leave to go public.
People: Wu Changjiang, NVC lighting. 1At the end of 998, Wu Changjiang and two other students, Governor and Hu Yonghong, founded NVC Lighting in Huizhou. From the perspective of ownership structure, Wu Changjiang accounts for 45%, and the other two companies account for 55%. When they grow up, several people have different views on how to use the money they earn. Wu Changjiang has always wanted to make the enterprise bigger. If he makes money, he has to invest, while the other two shareholders have to pay dividends when they make money. After a big fight in 2005, the board of directors decided to split up. The plan is: the enterprise will make a price of 240 million yuan, and Wu Changjiang will take 80 million yuan from the enterprise and leave. In exchange, the equity owned by his own enterprise belongs to the other two shareholders. Three days after the board meeting, dealers gathered at the headquarters and forcibly intervened in the separation. The banker raised his hand and asked Wu to stay. So the situation went from bad to worse, and Hudu left with 80 million each.
3. Treatment and incentive mechanism.
The war years were naked looting by force, and individuals played bloody roles. Commercial times is a cruel competition between you and me, and individuals play a more civilized role. But in any case, the income obtained by individuals is the same, but the distribution method is changing. For people in commercial times, the interests are more stable and realistic, so the treatment and incentive mechanism become the fundamental guarantee for people to participate in a certain cause. Many people know that "management theory says there is only one core: interest." The key is how much the boss is willing to pay. In the past two years, the wave of senior executives leaving Netease Portal has something to do with Ding Lei being too picky. Since 2004, Netease has not given many executives any option rewards.
4, encounter bottlenecks, transformation
Because of different study and employment experiences, executives have different or even diametrically opposite life demands, so their mental states are almost completely different, such as obedience, acceptance, ease, depression, hesitation, hesitation, endeavor and agitation. In short, many unforeseeable historical reasons have caused today's realistic results, and many of them may not be what they really want. The same is true for career development, especially for some executives who have worked in their posts for several years. Once they go out and face the rapid changes in society, their inner changes are urgent and clear. After this profession has reached a high point, the transformation is still sublimation, and naturally it will encounter bottlenecks. At this moment, trying new changes in order to expect the sublimation of real career, or just changing the taste of life, has become the incentive for executives to repeatedly choose to leave.
Character: Chen Yidan, one of the founders of Tencent. 2065438+On March 20th, 2003, Tencent announced that Chen Yidan would step down as the chief executive officer (Cao) and serve as the company's lifelong honorary advisor. Tencent said in the announcement that Chen Yidan will continue to serve as honorary chairman of Tencent Charity Fund, and pay attention to social community and charity on behalf of the company. Tencent said that "with Charles' personal leadership and participation, the company was able to establish an efficient administrative management system, a scientifically managed human resources system and a leading legal guarantee system". With the growth and stability of Tencent, Chen Yidan himself is more interested in education and public welfare. In fact, in the last few years of his tenure at Tencent, he spent more time on public welfare than on business.
5. Cash expenditure
For some companies, especially those listed by backdoor or strength packaging, when the shares held by the original shareholders or employees of the company have passed the legal holding period, that is, when the ban is lifted, many executives throw their shares in cash, take shelter from the wind and water after cashing out, and leave their jobs. This also includes the disposal of non-restricted shares owned by individuals by resignation and so on. The core here is cashing out, leaving or before or after. According to statistics, since 20 13, there have been 3 18 companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets that reduced their holdings and cashed in16.6 billion yuan, among which 105 companies in the Growth Enterprise Market reduced their holdings and cashed in 3.792 billion yuan. As of February 27th, in the first half of the year, there were 193 listed companies in the two cities, among which 1 17 executives resigned. As a result, many industry analysts regard the first few months of each year as the concentrated period of senior executives' resignation in listed companies, and it is the purpose of many senior executives' resignation to facilitate cash withdrawal.
Not long ago, Bi Shuiyuan executives were widely criticized. On April 26th, 20 13, the director and deputy general manager of the company resigned. 2012101On October 25th, Yu Long resigned as the deputy general manager of the company. On September 13 of the same year, Chen Guanci resigned as the deputy general manager of the company and the general manager of Membrane Technology Co., Ltd.; 20 1 1 In September, Guo Hui resigned as a director of the company and a member of the audit committee of the board of directors due to his busy work. On September 20 10, Hui Liang, director and deputy general manager of Bi Shuiyuan, resigned. It is reported that in the past year alone, five senior executives in Bi Shuiyuan reduced their holdings of 17 cases, with a total cash withdrawal of 700 million yuan. The project collection is clear at a glance.
Elegance shares went public in 2009, and Guan Yinzhou, the former vice chairman and chief economist of the company, resigned before and after, and also successfully sold the original shares for cash.
6. The shortcomings of the head are too obvious.
Everyone has shortcomings and entrepreneurs are no exception. But as the head of one party, if you are not good at restraining or weakening your weaknesses, it is easy to do bad things. Many impatient entrepreneurs almost feel the same way. Many things they don't want to deal with, but when they are impatient, they express it and the result will change. It may be busy in the early stage, which has little impact on the team. The later, the more obvious, the more unbearable. In the face of such a leader, whether to stay with him for a long time or resign, executives will naturally make their own choices.
Character: Wang Hang, founder of Good Doctor. Zhou and I are classmates. 1998, he founded 372 1 with Zhou. In 2003, they joined Yahoo China. In 2006, they left Yahoo China to set up Qihoo. In 2007, Wang Hang left Qihoo to start a good doctor. Zhou mentioned in the first column of Youku's friends that sometimes he can't control his temper, and his old classmates can't stand it, "scolding a CEO".
7. "Digging corners" with high salaries from peers
People gather in rivers and lakes, and money builds industries. Colleagues are enemies, not to mention fewer people with technology or decision-making or market advantages in the fierce competition situation. Things are scarce, and in this case, it is inevitable that peers will dig for the foundation of each other. For example, Vanke once organized a large-scale "007 Piracy Plan", which was responsible for recruiting senior executives from multinational companies, including Xu, former director of the Information and Decision Planning Department of Greater China and director of the Global Business Services Division, former director and asset management director of Jones Lang LaSalle Asia Pacific, and Yuan, former executive vice president of China.
Case: Countless.
8. Overwhelmed by pressure
When the economic situation is not good and the competition in the industry intensifies, the pressure on its own talents will increase greatly. The pace of modern life is fast, the product life cycle is short, the market is updated quickly, the characteristics are prominent and change repeatedly. The pressure division of enterprises falls directly on employees, especially as executives. Employees live in a high-pressure, high-efficiency and high-load environment for many years, which causes everyone to be exhausted. To make matters worse, many enterprises have made long-term plans far beyond their actual digestion and affordability under the pressure of survival, or the entrepreneurs are overjoyed or the board of directors is unrealistic. Finally, some people gave up in despair. ...
9. Frequent internal adjustments and insufficient room for development.
Many corporate executives, in fact, have been independent for a long time and are already big shots who can dominate one side. However, due to the irregular operation of the board of directors, or the company's expansion and development or replacement of senior management, or the change of the board of directors, the company's main responsible person has changed, and the company's guidelines have changed, resulting in frequent personnel changes. The rules have changed. The most direct feeling of these executives is that their old habits need to adapt to new forms, and some people may feel that their rights and interests have been questioned.
Sometimes, many companies change their original exploration, but the changed terms may not be perfect, so that they restrict each other. Eventually, senior executives lack independence, which leads to obstacles in exercising their functions and powers ... If they are not paid attention to and solved reasonably for a long time, the final result will be a wave of senior executives leaving. For example, UUU9 (Youjiu. Com), an old game media in China, actually arranged a technical director to be the content editor. The biggest personnel change in history, the general manager, editor-in-chief and news editor all left.
10, don't like political struggle.
Gongdou exists to varying degrees in large companies in China, Asia-Pacific and even Europe and America. It is understandable that executives tend to form different groups because of their interests or mutual relations, so as to influence company affairs, resolve their own unfavorable factors and strive for their own strong conditions. However, if we are in a company with serious internal friction and fierce struggle, especially in the case of almost cruel personnel struggle, there are many other meanings of high-level reform. This kind of internal friction often causes some executives to be afraid and stay away from it.
1 1, influenced by others.
Executives are not easily influenced by employees. Because of their location, they often have more core secrets of the company than ordinary employees, and their horizons are naturally broader and more comprehensive, and they look at problems more deeply, and they will not be superficial and follow the trend. However, the cognitive influence from the same senior management should not be underestimated. Once they form an unfavorable understanding with their friends around them, this influence will not stop at the coming rain, but will be uprooted. Netease, which continues to be popular, resigned seven times in a row, Yahoo, 17 times in a row, Li Ning, Fanke, Fbook, Qoros Auto, Fanke Eslite, Handan.com, etc., all three times in a row are examples.
12, resigned for family.
In the phenomenon of resignation, some executives have struggled for more than ten years and have achieved something. At this time, the company has been very solid, the listing should be listed, the separation should be separated, and the rest is only normal maintenance and stable cooperation. The rest is to enjoy golf, sea island vacation and overseas travel. But what may happen is that at this time, whenever there is a problem, the family will send out the call of need. Therefore, the executives are very honest and frankly resigned. For example, Du Jing of Vanke said with a sigh that Germany, which values family after 20 years of graduation, including 10 of Vanke, needs to apply for German identity cards for children and wives as a family this year. Although grateful to the company, after careful consideration, he chose to bid farewell to Vanke. He wants to concentrate on spending time with his family.
13, old and sick, natural retirement
If you are in poor health, this kind of retirement is needless to say.
Second, passive resignation (economic situation, industry, enterprise) 14, poor performance
For an executive, it is very important to be responsible for the performance of the project, which will directly affect his career. Many enterprises are now more and more clear about performance requirements, others can talk slowly, and there is nothing to talk about before performance. For example, "Li Ning Company needs someone to be responsible for its poor performance, and Zhang Zhiyong's withdrawal is inevitable ..." Wang, the director and general manager of NetScience Technology Company and an independent director of Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, resigned voluntarily, which is also related to the pressure of performance ... Wang Liantao, vice president of Jiji.com and general manager of e-commerce platform, also resigned due to the decline in the performance of Ant short rent.
Person: Zhang Zhiyong, former CEO of Li Ning Company. Zhang Zhiyong 1992 joined Li Ning, and left on 20 12, and worked in Li Ning Company for 20 years. He once led Li Ning from 65.438+0 billion sales to 9 billion sales, but later, "the result of strategic mistakes was a rapid decline in Li Ning's performance. 2065.438+065.438+0, the company's profit plummeted by 65%, but the inventory rose by 465.438+0%. " . On the day of Zhang Zhiyong's departure, Li Ning's share price rose by 7% instead of falling.
15, jobbery
From the perspective of the company's top management, executives can get a glimpse of many internal secrets, especially the company's profits and their distribution. In the economic society, in the face of the growing demand for economic interests, once one's ambition expands and he can't stand the temptation, he will often take the opportunity to serve the public interest and harm the public interest by taking advantage of his position to find loopholes. It is manifested in making false accounts, misappropriating company funds, stealing or selling company assets, or selling company secrets, and giving them to companies and units associated with individuals at a disguised discount or ultra-low price or free of charge for personal gain. Various forms, not stick to one pattern. Of course, this is risky, once it gets out. The executives involved are naturally difficult to get rid of.
Character: Yan Limin, former general manager of Juhua. 10 days ago, the Xihu District People's Court in Hangzhou just pronounced a sentence on the former Ali employee. According to the judgment, Yan Limin accepted the request of Wan Mou, the legal representative of Hangzhou Dianchuang Technology Co., Ltd., on April 20, 200017 and June 27, 2000 respectively, thanking him for his care. In addition to being sentenced to 7 years in prison, continue to recover illegal income.
16, alternating power supply
The company is a small society with clear organizational structure and strict structure. Besides, it's also a place where people gather. In the initial stage, executives encountered fewer such problems. The key is that after the company grows, everything is on the road. Many key positions are full of talents. At this time, the strategic nature of the talent itself is secondary. The feelings of the board of directors, the boss and the personnel department are increasingly prominent, occupying an increasingly dominant position. Generally speaking, balance is the balance of interests, and stability is the stability of mutual restriction and balance. Many senior officials did not die in the dark night, but fell on the Guangming Avenue, which is the meaning of this situation. They objectively become the victims of power alternation.
Character: Liu Jun, one of the "Eighteen Pines" of Lenovo Group, is currently the senior vice president of Lenovo Group. After Lenovo acquired IBM, in order to internationalize more smoothly, Amelio, a senior executive of Dell, was invited as CEO. During this period, Liu Jun had a bad relationship with the company, and Liu Jun was replaced by Dell's former colleague in Amelio. After Liu Chuanzhi sent Liu Jun to Harvard to study, Lenovo came back completely under the control of the old leader and was entrusted with an important task.
17, internal transfer and job change
This is a common method used by companies. Different from airborne executives, companies generally promote existing employees step by step, and the process is generally complicated and lengthy. It needs all-round investigation and tempering. In this process, changing posts is a necessary and frequently used method. According to the relevant sampling data, about half of senior executives' careers stop at this step. There are still many companies that use this method to neglect employees, playing with promotion and retreat, and transferring from core positions and functional departments is another punishment. Because of this situation, there are not a few employees who leave their jobs.
Character: Zhou Xianfeng, Vice President of Founder Technology. June 5438+October 2004 10, Founder had a collective job-hopping event. Zhou Xianfeng joined Founder Group from 65438 to 0994, and served as the vice president and general manager of Founder Technology in 2000, in charge of PC R&D business of Founder Technology. In this personnel change from June 5438 to June 2004 10, Zhou Xianfeng will be transferred from the real power department of Founder Technology to the assistant president of Founder Group. At that time, founder employees said that this was a pie in the sky. Soon, Zhou Xianfeng jumped ship and became CEO of Hisense Digital.
18, financing failed.
Many companies that want to go public and expand their influence have financing needs. After hard work, everyone is happy to succeed. Once, after repeated failures, even the company's top management finally had to cancel the listing plan under multiple pressures. Such as Handan. Com, Vanke Eslite, Car Inc. and other executives' departure tide caused by IPO failure is proof.
Person: Wu Bo, former chairman and CEO of Handan.com. Com has experienced three rounds of financing, with the total amount of financing reaching $6,543.8+65 billion. 1The listing of Handan.com11failed at the end of October. Due to the pressure of investors, several senior executives left their jobs, and their listing applications were withdrawn on June 12. In August of the same year, news of Wu Bo's resignation came out. Now Wu Bo's new entrepreneurial project is Meijiale. He said, "don't mention the handle, this venture refuses VC."
19, enterprise oriented trial and error
In the process of development, enterprises often have twists and turns, especially at the critical moment of development, and often have no time to prepare too much, so they must make bold decisions. Trial and error, losing soldiers and protecting cars are the only way. For example, in June 2007, the well-known Yahoo Company lost its way, and it could not decide the direction of its own company. Should we take the route of media company or technology company? Business is declining and staff morale is low. During this period, many measures of the company attracted many senior executives to leave.
Person: Li Mingyuan, former general manager of Baidu E-commerce Division. Baidu once set up an e-commerce division in Baidu in 2007, and launched the C2C trading platform "Yes" the following year, which was headed by Li Mingyuan. On March 20 10, Li Mingyuan resigned because he failed to explore the road for Baidu e-commerce. In August of the same year, he joined UC Web as vice president of products, and returned to Baidu in June, 1 1. He is currently vice president of Baidu and general manager of mobile cloud division.
20. Failure in the capital game
The game between capital and entrepreneurs has a complicated relationship and a long history. Both have a blend of fish and water and a layer of incompatibility. The essence of capital is money, and the purpose of career is not only money, but also reputation and social value. When it's calm, they live in peace; With the rapid development of wind and water, the true face of capital is exposed, and entrepreneurs need to play games with it, or even be squeezed out of their jobs. Wang, founder of 8848, founder of Mysee High Burning, general manager of Zhuhai Juli, general manager of Patriot Digital Audio Technology Co., Ltd. and general manager of TCL Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. are examples. The fate of other executives is also the same strain of grasshoppers, with wind and rain. Even if investors lose confidence in the management team and sell stocks crazily, there will be great pressure. The stock of Zynga Game Company fell sharply because investors lost confidence in it. In this case, it is very common for executives to leave.
Character: Wang Zhidong, founder of Sina. In 200 1 year, Wang Zhidong planned to use the internet bubble to reorganize Sina, but this plan was different from Wall Street's idea. In June, 200 1 year, he was dismissed by the board of directors of the company.
2 1, industry-wide challenge
After the economic crisis, the global economy has been stagnant. As a result, exports have fallen sharply and coastal enterprises have closed down. Besides, compared with Viet Nam and Myanmar, China's labor force is gradually losing its low-cost competitiveness. Many factors have caused China's economy to plummet from the gorgeous era of high bubble real estate, and it has dropped from 10% to 7.6% in the last two years. Coupled with the uneven situation in various places, many data say that it is very watery, further widening the gap. The crisis is further aggravated, the social cash flow drops sharply, and the real purchasing power of unit currency drops. As a part of social and economic life, enterprises are bound to be deeply influenced. The economic crisis has become a challenge to the whole industry. At this time, the enterprise was pressed to squeeze the living space step by step. What should I do? In order to adapt to this rapid change, the allocation of talents is forced to change at any time, and major dynamic adjustments occur at any time. Step by step, large-scale austerity, large-scale salary reduction and large-scale layoffs have made everyone unstable and insecure.
Person: Shi, founder of Suntech. After Suntech went public in 2006, Wuxi went crazy, Jiangsu went crazy, Jiangnan went crazy, China went crazy, and made the Great Leap Forward. Under the control of international capital, foreign photovoltaic production lines, production equipment and testing equipment companies have made a fortune, and companies selling accessories and silver paddles have made a fortune. Then the arbitrage of polysilicon trading was controlled, and the refining technology and production technology of crystalline silicon arbitrage China. Today, the emperor's new costume drama ended after the huge profits of European and American capital groups. (By Informas) In August 2065438+02, Shi resigned as CEO; On March 20 13, Shi ceased to be the chairman of Suntech Power, and the company went bankrupt.
22. The contract expires
This is a special case. Generally speaking, the letter of appointment is inefficient for senior managers. Only those who are suitable to stay on probation and those who are not suitable to leave. Few companies will not renew their employment because the contract expires. But in reality, especially when enterprises involve different countries, different nationalities and different languages, this situation is not difficult to find. If Gao Xu, the chief financial officer of Qoros Auto, leaves, the company's explanation is that only the two-year contract expires.
23. Stand on the wrong team
This situation is also quite common. In addition to top managers, executives may always form different groups because of some factors, mainly promotion relationships or different strategic thinking and decisions. Subjectively, there may be no substantive malice, but over time, it will give others an impression of standing in line, especially when the company adjusts its development, personnel vacancies and the board of directors reforms. This tendency is obvious. This will often touch some people's taboos, leading to interest-related and fluctuations. When the restricted group gains power, one party will inevitably fail to quit.
Person: Chen Xiao, former Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gome Electrical Appliances Group. In the autumn of 20 10, a battle for control of Gome started between Chen Xiao and Huang Guangyu. In Chen Xiao's view, he is exercising the power of a professional manager, while in Huang Guangyu's view, he is threatening the interests of his family. Finally, Chen Xiao left his post and Zhang Dazhong walked out of the mountain. "It not only avoids Huang Guangyu's dominance, but also avoids the control of insiders in Chen Xiao."
24, strive to be the shopkeeper of cutting
Character: Qiu Bojun, Lei Jun, founder /CEO of Jinshan. This scene is too rare. Lei Jun and his boss Qiu Bojun worked together for 20 years, and they became major shareholders of Jinshan. In the end, both of them competed to become "cutting shopkeepers". However, Lei Jun began to make angel investment in 2007. After 10 became Xiaomi, his mind was even more absent from Jinshan. Although Qiu Bojun handed over the highest leadership to Lei Jun, he didn't take over until Qiu Bojun found Dr. Zhang Hongjiang as CEO of Jinshan for Lei Jun before leaving his post.
25. Gossip, breaking the law and discipline
This kind of situation is relatively rare, which is mainly caused by executives' neglect of self-management, corruption and depravity, until human nature disappears, illegal and criminal matters appear, and they are imprisoned overnight and subjected to criminal punishment. Although this situation is generally caused by the parties themselves, there are also factors that the company is negligent in management.
