Replying to LO10766 --

Gary's comments work fine for me. I think the key to making change occur
reasonably smoothly is to ensure that everyone impacted participates in the
process in an appropriate way.

== Gary's quote ==

In managing the stress of having change thrust upon you, it is your
perception of influence to that change, the amount you can influence
the response to that change... maybe that is the key to accepting
change. Rol is very right in pointing out control doesn't exist.
Influence on the other hand is very apparent, in families, in
corporations (especially in politics...)

So taking this back to the corporation, if the environment and
managers value input from staff, and act upon that input on a
consistent and ongoing basis, the corporation and its staff will more
readily accept change.
