nope.  just becky ... she showed me the post.

it would make this kind of a transition easier if you also let your  
people know, one-on-one, where they are ... "e.g., I have x months of  
money for you, this will not affect your work on the project, etc..."

communication is, by far, the hardest part of leadership.  Group stuff  
is important and must be done, but I find the one-on-one to be far  
more important since at the day, life is all about people, not  
institutions.  :)
