All leaders require a plan and a template for either transition from a career to another career or retirement. Part of this plan includes receiving transition information from others. Reflections about an individual's career, observations from a career, and insights about strategies to create a rich and robust transition experience are discussed in this article. Also included are suggestions for the "transition receivers," or those benefitting from the experiences and wisdom of others, to optimize their career transitions while recognizing the value of transitioning as a 2-way process and dialogue.
