Career Resilience When Leadership at the Top Is Unstable

TL;DR

"Your CEO's divorce is your problem" (Forbes). Leadership instability ripples down and can put your role at risk through no fault of your own. With UK vacancies at their lowest since early 2021 (ONS), the cost of being caught out is higher.

The three pillars of resilience

• A current, portable CV you never have to rebuild under stress
• A visible external reputation that survives any one employer
• An ongoing achievement log, kept current with real numbers

Early warning signs

Senior leaders leaving in clusters, strategy changing direction repeatedly, sudden communication blackouts, unexplained hiring freezes, board or investor turnover.

The honest bit

Loyalty is rarely reciprocated by an org in survival mode. The people who come through best are the most prepared. Keep your CV ready with CVPilot so a move is never blocked by a stale document.
