November 2024 Executive Employment Law Newsletter

I hope this email finds you and your family in good health.  We are now well into Autumn.  Despite some days of Indian Summer, there is now an increasing chill to our days, with Thanksgiving not too far off at the end of this month. The Patriots are are mired in another losing season, but there is some hope –  rookie QB Drake Maye has shown promise that better days are to come if he can gain a more accomplished supporting cast in years ahead,  On a more promising side, the NBA Defending Champion Celtics are off to a strong start – perhaps a repeat is possible?   Much less so the Bruins.  Playing .500 hockey right now, but perhaps as the season unfolds the B’s will find their mojo to also qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs.   

As for Newsletter items, three weeks ago, CEOWORLD magazine published my article on negotiating the terms of your executive employment contract as a Chief Strategy Officer,  Chief Growth Officer or Chief Transformation Officer, with an article link provided in item #1.  A link to an earlier article of mine, on Wrongful Termination – Rights, Remedies and Severance, published in IVY EXEC career advancement website, appears in items #3.  Additionally, a link to another earlier article of mine, on negotiation of executive equity compensation in Severance Negotiations, appears in item #4, plus a special offer included as item #5. I hope some of these items might be of benefit… and my best wishes to all for the rest of November!
