How to Restructure Teams: Guidance for Enlightened Leaders

“We’re restructuring the team.”

In a work setting, these words often are a euphemism for “We’re terminating one or more employees.”

Anyone who’s witnessed restructuring knows that even as it aims to create positive change, it’s inherently destructive and disruptive, with impacts extending well beyond those terminated.

One common view is that decision-makers treat restructuring as just another tactical project to be checked off their to-do list. They fail to methodically and humanely think through the many dimensions at play, thus causing far more harm and upheaval than necessary.

It doesn't have to be this way.

I've published a guide for leaders who appreciate the seriousness of restructuring and want to do their very best to reduce its costs and increase its benefits.
