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 he

  • A.their expectation of better financial status
  • B.their need to reflect on their private life
  • C.their strained relations with the boards
  • D.their pursuit of new career goals

答案: D
本题解析:

细节题。根据第二段中的“In recent weeks the No.2 executives at Avon and American?Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post”可知。辞职的高层管理人员追求CEO的职位,D项说法正确。A项中的“financial status”在本段范围内未提及:B项中的“reflect on their private life”是对文中“reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run”的严重曲解;C项是根据第二段倒数第二句编造的选项,选项内容与原文不符且不能回答本题提问。
