Checklist for Managing Endings



Have I studied the change carefully and identified who is likely to lose what including what I myself am likely to lose? Y/N
Do I understand the subjective realities of these losses to the people who experience them, even when they seem like over-reaction to me? Y/N
Have I acknowledged these losses with sympathy? Y/N
Have I permitted people to grieve and publicly expressed my own sense of loss? Y/N
Have I found ways to compensate people for their losses? Y/N
Am I giving people accurate information and doing it again and again? Y/N
Have I defined clearly what is over and what isn't? Y/N
Have I found ways to 'mark the ending'? Y/N
Am I being careful not to denigrate the past but, when possible, to find ways to honour it? Y/N
Have I made a plan for giving people a piece of the past to take with them? Y/N
Have I made it clear how the ending we are making is necessary to protect the continuity of the organisation or conditions on which the organisation depends? Y/N
Is the ending we are making big enough to get the job done in one step? Y/N
