Dr. Oliver Fowler. Ph. D., management consultant, who served as technical advisor on the film points out: "Without change we could have no progress. Yet many people feel threatened by new job re.)uirements or changes in their normal business relationships. Facts Can Prevent Fears "It is the purpose of this film to show how supervisors can present new methods or procedures to their men so that they will not be feared." The film shows how managers can learn to understand and deal with resistance when it does arise. Ch;mt;e Must Bf I'nderstood Key lesson in the film is portrayal of how a supervisor learns that to overcome employee's resistance he ntust first be sure that the change is clearlv understood. After that the supervisor must allow his men to release their tensions and then provide an oppor-j tunity for them to become identi-| lied with the change — to participate in it and contribute to it. The film concludes as the supervisor deals effectively with each I man until he finally creates an at1 mosphere in which the change is I accepted and efficiency and I morale again begin to rise. y'| PARTHENON PICTURES '> Public Affairs \ An Association Tool!
