Set Your Team Up for Success When You Move on to Your Next Job

Tip
When you're a leader, leaving your job isn’t always straightforward. How you manage your departure will influence how your coworkers and organization remember you and either enhance or damage your reputation. Here’s how to set your team up for success before you move on to your next opportunity.
Start by identifying your priorities. Be realistic about what you can accomplish and concentrate on issues where you really are the only person for the job. Then share these priorities with everyone — your boss, peers, and direct reports. At the same time, establish boundaries so you don’t get sucked into new crises and projects.
Next, create a detailed transition plan for your boss that outlines what will need attention after you leave, and your recommendations for how to best get the work done.
Finally, prepare your team — especially your successor if you know who they are — for your departure. Talk to your employees about what they hope to accomplish in the future and ask them to identify the stakeholders that are critical for their success. What can you do to reinforce these relationships and set them up to achieve their goals before you say goodbye?

🇨🇳 当你进入下一份工作时，为团队的成功做好准备
你是一个领导者的时候，离开你的工作并不总是那么简单。 你如何处理你的离职会影响你的同事和组织对你的记忆，或者提高或者损害你的声誉。 下面是在你进入下一个机会之前如何让你的团队成功的方法。
首先确定你的优先级。 对你能完成的事情要现实一点，集中精力在你真正想做的事情上。 然后和你的老板、同事和直接下属分享这些优先事项。 同时，建立界限，这样你就不会陷入新的危机和项目中。
接下来，为你的老板制定一个详细的过渡计划，列出你离开后需要注意的事项，以及你对如何最好地完成工作的建议。
最后，准备好你的团队，特别是你的继任者，如果你知道他们是谁的话。 与你的员工谈论他们希望在未来完成什么，并要求他们确定对他们的成功至关重要的利益相关者。 在你说再见之前，你能做些什么来巩固这些关系，让他们达到他们的目标？
