Education Institute: Aspects of Negotiation Part 5: Negotiation and Organizational Renewal - Paul Guise
NEGOTIATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL RENEWAL:
Planning for organizational renewal is becoming increasingly important, with many institutions negotiating their way through a wave of retirement and recruiting. But any successful organizational renewal plan must negotiate, both implicitly and explicitly, the needs and desires of both incoming and outgoing staff (as well as those who are staying!). Impose a unilateral plan, and you run the risk of endless cycles of recruiting due to limited retention.
