Adjusting to not being "on top": making effective use of transitions

Article Abstract:

Upper management professionals must be able to anticipate the possibility of termination or demotion, as downsizing and massive lay offs continue to prevail in industries, particularly in health care management. Although job loss or demotion creates a destructive impact on a manager's ego, they must be dealt with open mindedly. In such cases, it is important for managers to maintain a positive outlook in life and keep one's personal integrity. Others may also find emotional relief by seeking the support of other professionals and advisors.
