It's funny how the diagram directly contradicts the entire article.

"Your manager hears you out" NO -> "You should leave anyway"

That's exactly the reason why you don't share your exit plan prematurely. Your exit plan is still in progress, it may need more time, it may fail altogether. You're risking all of that by telling about your exit too early.

Don't say anything until you have a signed contract at the next employer. Do leave cleanly and gracefully.

Do lie about reasons. Just say the place was great, and you were just looking for a change. This keeps your network spotless and you might get a reference letter. Should times go dark, you may have a place to run back to.
