Support Your Successor, Avoid Negativity
A variety of emotions can set in during handover sessions especially if you’re leaving on a not-so-good note.
Nobody has a rule on what you should say or shouldn’t say to your successor but it is in your best interest for you to set them up for success and make your exit as easy as possible.
They will ask you questions and they will need support to bring them up to speed. Focus on the role, tips to aid their success and information to help them succeed.
Avoid speaking negatively as that can be detrimental to both you and your successor.
Focus on what matters!
