Protecting Your Reputation When You’re Ready to Go
A top manager is preparing to leave an organization she set on a good course. What if her successors foul things up and blame her?"If there isn’t a sympathetic-seeming manager, it might be wise to try to land an offer elsewhere before you raise the subject. Even if it’s not useful as a bargaining chip, it will give you a place to go if your negotiations at your current company just don’t work out."

There is no returning to the previous position.
