Are there any tips out there for this situation?
I've just gotten an extension on a 10 month project for another 10 months. This is for expanding a leadership program, as well as continuing to support the current group I have been working with.
I am aware of how ending a project often has a great impact on people -- they hurry to get results, they take steps because they are running out of time to act while they still have the support they need, etc. So by announcing I'm staying on, I worry that people will slip into the next phase without having the benefits that a "close" brings.
Does anyone have a suggestion of how to "punctuate" a project, so that there is a sense of closing with phase I, in order to reap as much results as possible? Or other idea to leverage this transition?
Thanks for any suggestions.
