  6. Dealing With Change • Recognize that what is happening is normal • Employees will not move through stages quicker than managers • All low morale is an anger problem • All change produces fear • During times of change all perceptions are distorted – therefore increase information flow • “Tell the truth and you don’t have to have as nearly as good a memory” -- Mark Twain
