The option to abandon

Aswath Damodaran:1

Preserve the option to abandon, which is you need to be able to walk away from a job to be really good at it. Sounds like a very strange thing to do, but I used to say, but basically I believe that if you actually have the freedom to get up and say, "I'm quitting," and there is nothing that the person on the other side of the table can use to yank you back, you're actually going to be a much better employee because you will speak your mind.
