A mission-focused exit conversation with a departing staff member — why they're leaving, what the organization needs, and what institutional knowledge to preserve.
What is your primary reason for leaving?
What kept you here as long as you stayed?
The mission, the people, the work itself — be specific about what made it meaningful.
What is the most important thing this organization needs to change to fulfill its mission?
You can be candid. This debrief is for learning, not accountability.
What institutional knowledge or relationships will be hardest to replace after you leave?
Funder relationships, community trust, technical knowledge, process know-how — anything that lives primarily with you.
What would you tell the person stepping into your role on their first day?
The real priorities, the landmines to avoid, and the people to lean on.
How well did this organization live its stated values during your time here?
Is there anything you wanted to say or raise that you never felt able to?
This is a safe space. Your candor helps the organization grow.
After each completed session, Mayetik generates a structured AI summary. Here's an example of the output format — the actual content reflects each respondent's answers.
