abstract:Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is Senior Associate Dean for Executive Programs and Lester Crown Professor in the Practice of Management at Yale School of Management (SOM) where he has taught since 1999. Before joining Yale, he taught for ten years as a professor at the Harvard Business School and nine years as a professor at Emory University's Goizueta Business School.
But, as JeffreySonnenfeld, author of an extensive study of the subject, points out, even successful departing bosses often try to ease the pain of re-entry into normal life by demanding to keep the trappings of their heroic stature: limousines, offices, private jets.
