Purpose and benefits

The way you handle your resignation depends partly upon whether you are leaving for pull or push reasons. Positive, or pull, reasons draw you towards a new future—you’re taking another job perhaps, or leaving to become self employed. Negative, or push, considerations drive you away—perhaps your job is no longer satisfying or your relationship with your boss has deteriorated irretrievably.

Either way, it is important to plan your exit carefully. An elegant exit that keeps relationships intact is always the best option, as you never know when you will encounter former colleagues again.
