Q: My GC is leaving and the execs are going to conduct a search for her replacement. I want the job, but the best they can offer me is Interim GC, which infuriates me. Should I take it or quit?

A: I understand your disappointment with not being chosen to fill your boss’s shoes on a permanent basis. But it’s not prudent to let your emotions drive important career decisions. You’ll end up on the short end of the stick every time. Take a deep breath and give yourself a little time to process and clear your mind. When your blood has lost its boil, it’s time to assess your options and determine you best strategic career move. Logically.
