Passage 2
When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August,his explanation was?surprisingly straight up.Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses,he came right out?and said he was leaving"to pursue my goal of running 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 of Hartford Financial Services Group,which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.
McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of?company he wanted to run.It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations.And McGee isn′t alone.In recent weeks the No.2 executives at Avon and American Express quit?with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO 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 business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements?cloud their reputations.
As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold,deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the?jump without a net.In the third quarter,CEO turnover was down 23%from a year ago as nervous?boards stuck with the leaders they had,according to Liberum 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 attractive CEO 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 of Tropicana a decade age,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 took that post at a major financial institution three?years later.
Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers.The financial crisis has made?it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one."The traditional rule was it′s safer to?stay where you are,but that′s been fundamentally inverted,"says one headhunter."The people?who′ve been hurt the worst are those who′ve stayed too long."
It can be inferred from the last paragraph that___________.查看材料
选项
A.top performers used to cling to their posts
B.loyalty of top performers is getting out-dated
C.top performers care more about reputations
D.it's safer to stick to the traditional rules
答案
A
解析
推断题。该段第二句提到,“The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between?jobs or to leave a bad one”,即金融危机使得跳槽更加容易被接受。后面引用一个猎头的话进一步证明这一观点,“The traditional rule was it’s safer to stay where you are,but that’s been fundamentally inverted”。A项是对文中猎头的观点的同义替换,故A项说法与原文相符。B项属于过度引申;C项原文没有提及;D项说法与原文不符。
