They say “A captain should go down with the ship.” I say bullshit. If the ship is obviously sinking, then the passengers will probably notice—at that point it’s the job of the captain to stay aboard until everyone’s safely in the lifeboats. However, if you’re a CEO or high-level executive and you can see the water level rising before everyone else, then it’s your responsibility to signal clear and present danger to your team. And there’s no clearer sign that something ain’t right than you walking out the door.
