A former British Vogue editor shows what not to say after youve been firedA former British Vogue editor shows what not to say after youve been firedShortly after Lucinda Chambers welches fired from her job as the fashion directorof British Vogue, she decided to air her grievances and reflect on her 36 year-tenure at the fashion magazinein an exit interview with the journal Vestoj.The interview was so revealing that it got taken down when it was published on Monday and then re-posted, with an editorial note thatChambers former employer Conde Nast was launching a lawsuit. The interviewer suggested that the magazine company was upset that Chambers had insulted important fashion brands - who are also important advertisers in its magazines. Its not surprising that the discussion has launched a lively discussion. No onecomes out of this interview unscathed- from an industry that will chew you up and spit you out tocrap magazine cover shoots with mediocre designers and their appalling work .Chambers gives a bridge-burning interview full of disclosures that make it clear shedoes not expect to work in the magazine industry again- or at least, never again at publisher Cond Nast.Its also full of candid observations about jobsand careers that we can learn from.Own your storyAfter you get fired, its all too easy to let the rupturing auffhrung consume you and subsumeyour identity, and to obsess about it. But its important to remember that you are not this one job, event or failure.Thisdebate comes up in a conversation Chambers relays she had after her firing Later I was having lunch with an old friend who had just been fired from Sothebys. She said to me, Lucinda, will you please stop telling people that youve been fired. I asked her why its nothing Im ashamed of. She told me, If you keep talking about it, then that becomes the story. The story should be that youve had the fruchtwein incredible career for over thirty years. The story shouldnt be that youve been fired. Dont muck up the story. But I dont want to be that person. I dont want to be the person who puts on a brave face and tells everyone, Oh, I decided to leave the company, when everyone knows you were really fired.Chambers is right to not hide what happened to her. In the immediate aftermath of a public firing, you can capitalize on everyone talking about you by redirecting the conversation. Be open that you need a job and askyour network to find you leads. Thats whatSree Sreenivasan did after he was fired from the Metropolitan Museum of species as their chief digital officer in 2013. He wrote a public Facebook post inviting anyone to tell him what he should do next.If you want to invite me to anything, I now have time, including for meaningful cups of coffee and drinks, Sreenivasan wrote. Id also love to go walking with anyone available.The suggestion from Chambers friend to take a longer view also has merit. By reframing the question over her firing around what she did accomplish at Briti sh Vogue over what ended it, the friend is looking towards the future, at employers and prospects down the line.Owning your story means not shying away from the bumps in your career, while also taking a longer view of your journey. To own your story, you must acknowledge that the firinghappened to you while not letting it become all you can talk about. Balancingthese scales, the important question after a firing becomes- how much to disclose?Chambers was frank around the anxieties about her firing, while also hinting that her career is not over Most people who leave Vogue end up feeling that theyre lesser than, and the fact is that youre never bigger than the company you work for. But I have a new idea now, and if it comes off maybe I wont be feeling so vulnerable after all.Insult your employer at your own perilChambers account is full of juicy details about the fashion magazine industrys fickle nature, and its uncomfortably close relationship with designers and advertisers. On desi gner Michael Kors, Chambers said that the June cover with Alexa Chung in a stupid Michael Kors T-shirt is crap. Hes a big advertiser so I knew why I had to do it. I knew it was cheesy when I was doing it, and I did it anyway.These insider details make for a great read, but asthe Fashion Law pointed out, theycan also lead to lawsuits. The legal website cited the Balenciaga lawsuit against its former creative director Nicolas Ghesquire after he gave a disparaging interview to amagazine where he compared his relationship to the fashion house to the sensation of being sucked dry, like they wanted to steal my identity.Compare that to Chambers comment about her former employer Truth be told, I havent readVoguein years. Maybe I was too close to it after working there for so long, but I never felt I led aVogue-ykind of life. The clothes are just irrelevant for most people - so ridiculously expensive.The lesson? Tell-alls are great for the reader, not always so great for the storyteller. Wh en you decide to spill, be careful aboutbreaching your non-disparagement and nondisclosure contracts. For Chambers, its clear that Cond Nast is not going to take her statementslying down. As of Thursday, the post now carries a new editorial disclaimer, saying that the site hasbeen contacted by lawyers on behalf of Conde Nast Limited and Edward Enninful OBE and have been requested to amend the interview. This request has now been granted.Curious about other ways to handle getting fired or laid off? We asked people who have been through it. Heres their excellent advice.

Why you should trust your instincts at work

Why you should trust your instincts at workWhy you should trust your instincts at workMost employees and organizations can readily identify problems. They instinctually or factually understand how internal processes or functions are either dysfunctional or inefficient.Butmost of this understanding devolves into long-winded discussions by disgruntled employees or rants by managers at meetings. Decisions often are delayed or otherwise made in haste- and are oftentimes incorrect.Wrapping effort around improvements within your company can be difficult when the employees are either dismissed as non-contributors or when the leaders within the organization are not open to the concept of brainstorming.So what can managers and employees alike do to improve the decision-making process and ensure that decisions are tied to improved business productivity and profitability?For one listen to your gut instinct.A great verstndigung im strafverfahren of information is stored in our subconscious. In moments of decision-making, our bodies provide clues to answers through feelings or gut reactions (for a fascinating book on this subject, see Malcolm Gladwells Blink). Tune into your intuition - your decisions will be sounder.Everyone has those moments when the answer just seems to magically pop into your head or the solution becomesobvious. The same can be said for change and innovation. Often, individuals just seem to know when something is off, or alternatively when a solution is obvious.So why is this instinct so often ignored? Why do teams revert back to old ideas and behaviors so readily?As verified in research by Alex Sandy Pentland in his article Beyond the Echo Chamber, I believe much of this has to do with the second-guessing of our own (or others) instinctual decisions.There are two main reasons we dont trust our instincts.1. We let experts sway our opinionWithin an organization, often a handful of individuals are viewed as the experts and are the only ones either allow ed to or considered capable of making decisions.Experts, authority figures, and tenured employees tend to sway opinion. Those without this status tend to be undervalued and often do not speak up.When making decisions, it is best to remove any value judgments with regard to information. Non-status groups, such as newer or younger employees or even those unfamiliar with the system, can often provide a unique and valuable perspective.Make sure not to discount information that may come from a non-traditional source. In business, these sources and ideas can often be game-changers.2. We rely on partal prejudiceWe frequently only hear what we want to hear and see what we want to see. If you have expectations or biases, this will influence the outcome.Be aware of your own prejudices, and stay open to unexpected sources and content. The older we become, the more we think we know. It is easy to believe that due to our experience, we have seen what there is to see, or that we have already trie d all of the new ideas and concepts at one time or anotherAn employeemay think how can I know the answer when the expert says otherwise? How is his idea any good if I have experienced only the opposite?These types of internal dialogues are common among employees who are either dismissed as non-contributors or by leaders that are typically not open to the concept that brainstorming atypical ideas can actually be a good thing, that inviting people outside of your expected network can add value to the discussion.What you can do about itThe next time someone blurts out one of those a-ha moments, listen. Take notes. Vet the idea, not the person offering it.The composition of the teams that will tackle your problems is absolutely critical to your success. Make sure you have considered whether those individuals or teams making decisions consists only of experts, or those with over or under estimated value or personal prejudice. If it is, you are missing out on the possibility of exponentia l change for the good.Invite both the experts and the inexperienced, the ancillary, the vested, the customer, the manufacturer, the consultant, the boss - anyone who can add value to the discussion.Innovation and improvement is about ideas, not just process. Assemble accordingly.Dorriah L. Rogers, Ph.D, is a consultant whospecializes in identifying and solving issues affecting efficiency, productivity, and profitability, and the author ofDecide to Profit 9 Steps to a Better Bottom Line.
