Knowing When to Exit
The importance of knowing when to leave a position of power is highlighted, as staying too long can tarnish one's legacy. Examples like David Stern in the NBA show that leaving at the right time is crucial. The concept extends to other aspects of life, with figures like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Lorne Michaels prompting questions about the appropriate moment to step down. It is generally advised to exit a role a year early rather than lingering two years too long, as exemplified in the case of Joe Biden's potential decision to step aside earlier.
