Meeting, Richard elected to hold a highly-scripted town hall forum to
share the news in mid-
2012. The town hall was held at eight-thirty on a Monday morning in a large conference room at
Icarus’s headquarters. The room had several rows of chairs and a podium centered in the front of
the room. As with
any larger gathering at Icarus, employees gravitated to the available seating at
the sides and rear when entering the room. Employees took seats toward
the front and center of
the room as a matter of last resort. Richard, Donald, and the Working Team members gathered
near the podium as the room filled. Although not physically separated from the audience, this
small cluster of actors served
as a backstage area, and employees generally avoided this group.
The podium had a speakerphone on top of it to accommodate employees who needed to attend
via conference call. Before raising the curtain
on this performance, I review some of the
preparations that were made in advance.
