- Another "tactic" is to use a "top-down" approach (for lack of a better term).
- If you can "convert" the supervisors/deans/managers/directors/etc first, then
- the rank and file will follow. The converse is exactly the opposite, as the
- management will increasingly oppose change as you work your way up.
