If you want to frustrate a lot of people that have a working relation with you, just mess with their money. It's quite easy to do if you are in charge. All you have to do is make several major changes that interfere in the money making process of your people. Resist the urge to release each change separately in an organize, effective process. We're not after efficiency or planning here. Just change as much of their routine as possible. Get everyone's blood pressure high as quickly as you can. Make sure that you keep the interference random -- some can get their money and then they can't. In fact, allow a select few to experience little or no problems. Make sure that them tell everyone else how wonderful their world is. As for you, keep your communication as minimal as possible without eliminating it. You want frustration, not a mob riot or an stampeding exodus from your endeavor with those people. Throw everyone a small bone of information (true or false) every now and then. Tell them that you're working on the problem and should have the solution in a few minutes. See how many days you can keep this going. Time your talks when you sense their frustration is nearing the boiling point of a revolt. A few words and they will go away with a grumble.
We are extremely adaptable creatures. Our survival depends upon it. Look at prisoners of war who lived through the tortures of their camp. Listen to the those who endured the horrors of concentration camps and lived to tell about it. So what you are doing here is nothing. After a time, the frustration will melt into bitter surrender. And you can continue with your haphazard implementation process. Make no allowances for backup plans. It's 'damn the torpedos, full speed ahead'.

Great post and oh-so-true.
Agreed! Great post and anyone got milk? No? How about a relaxing hot cup of tea until it's all clear?
