title: Adjusting to not being "on top": making effective use of transitions.
abstract: In today's health care environment, it is possible even for the successful health care manager to be fired or demoted. To ensure continued success, the manager must view a termination or demotion as a normal transition of life and find ways to "move on". Given today's volatile environment, anticipatory planning for job loss or job change, which includes attention to continued professional training, visioning changes in health care, and maintaining strong professional contacts, is an imperative.
