Title: With the Programme—or Not Case

Contents

1. The explanation for the managing director’s silence about the managers’ future in the conference call and his initial speech at the retreat. How I handled this.

2. The explanation for the managers’ own lack of questions about their future, and how they positioned themselves as in the process of ‘acceptance and being ready to move on’ during the first morning of the retreat

3. At the end of the second day, assume that the managers were honest about being ‘with the programme’ (that is, dedicated to participation in the delivery of the change). Consider if, based on the change curve, they were of necessity then at the stages of acceptance or being ready to move on.

4. Which characteristics of behaviour described here would you feel as reflecting emotional intelligence or absence of emotional intelligence?
