When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, hisexplanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usualvague excuses, he came fight out and said he was leaving "to pursue my goal ofrunning a company." Broadcasting his ambition was "very much my decision,"McGee. says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board ofHartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman onSeptember 29.
McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on whatkind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside worldabout his aspirations. And McGee isn't alone. In recent weeks the No.2 executives atAvon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for aCEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure,executives who don't get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent businessenvironment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncementscloud their reputations.
As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be morewilling to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according toLiberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring
leaders.
The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional.
For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractiveCEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner
Dennis Carey: "I can't think of a single search I've done where a board has not
instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first."
Those who jumped without a job haven't always landed in top positions quickly.Ellen Marram quit as chief ofTropicana a decade ago, saying she wanted to be a CEO.It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange.Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally tookthat post at a major financial institution three years later.
Many recruiters say the old disgrace is lading for top performers. The financialcrisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. "Thetraditional rule was it's safer to stay where you are, but that's been fundamentallyinverted," says one headhunter. "The people who've been hurt the worst are thosewho've stayed too long."
