What does getting out gracefully mean to you? Like other workers, you will one day leave your company behind.

Seeing them through successfully is what author Garrett Hurley calls the Getting Out Gracefully process. Getting out of your business gracefully is the requisite capstone to a life well lived, and he's written this book for leaders who share this belief.

Remember, if you don't begin with the end in mind, that end can look very different than you hoped.
