Imagine you work for an organization that has been fairly successful over time. In this organization, however, revenue has declined over the last three quarters and you have been asked to reengineer the organization into cross-functional teams in an effort to become more efficient. When this is fully implemented, you will more than likely reduce your workforce by 20-30%.

• What level of resistance do you think you will encounter during this process?
• Will any level of resistance be beneficial? How will you handle the resistance?
• What ethical considerations should be made in relation to the reduction in workforce?
