- <p> Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque has been busy
- developing nuclear weapons ever since World War II. With the
- cold war over, lab planners shelled out $900,000 to hire Being
- First Inc., a consulting team from Berkeley, to help redefine
- Sandia's mission. But the consultants' New Age methods have
- produced grumbling among the lab's 8,500 employees. In one
- stress-reduction seminar, employees were asked to lie on the
- floor in a dark room for deep-breathing exercises. Lab officials
- insist that such efforts will help persuade their federal
- overseers that Sandia is keeping up with the times. "We want
- to be the most cost-effective and the most innovative in our
- management style," says Dan Hartley, whose title is vice
- president for corporate-change management.
