Thinking About Resigning? If you're wrestling with the decision to resign, you're not alone. It's one of the hardest choices a professional can face — not just a career decision, but often a moral, reputation, and legacy decision. Patrick Dobel, in Public Integrity, offers a framework that can help bring clarity: 1️⃣ Commitment and Capacity Do you still have the commitment — and the capacity — to fulfill the role? Sometimes the issue isn't desire but depletion. Moral, mental, or physical exhaustion can quietly erode your ability to lead well. 2️⃣ Obligations of the Office Every position carries expectations and responsibilities. Can you still meet those obligations with integrity, energy, and focus? 3️⃣ Effectiveness Are you still effective? When effectiveness is lost — whether through circumstance, leadership environment, or personal conviction — staying may no longer serve the mission or the people you lead. Resigning is never easy. But walking through these three lenses won't make it easy — it will make it clear. And clarity is where courage begins. 💡
