2. Organizational Communication
“People in this organization don’t talk to one another anymore. Everything is e-mail, e-mail, e-mail. If you are mad at someone, you can just say it
and then hide behind your computer.” With these words, Joe expressed his frustrations with Delta General’s operations. Charley echoed his

We have no control over unplanned change, but we do have control over how we perceive change; as a crisis or as an opportunity.

Now 11 years later I can look back and be happy that I was able to take advantage of the situational changes I went through. Truly the goal to unplanned change is to minimize negative consequences and focus on the positives. By no means was it easy but I had learned excellent organizational skills in the military, that when implemented I was able to soften the blow. We are supposed to comment on the other options at the time and why we did not choose them. With unplanned change who says there are “other options”?
