The discussion with the P3 manager face to face today went as well as I could have hoped - he accepted the need to consider change and is confident of being able to get a job outside Honeywell if need be (but with a competitor - not what we want, so I will try very hard to retain his knowledge within the business). P-O-A in action seemed to work okay - I was polite, open whilst being Assertive - this change was going to happen.
I also told him that I would share his situation with the CMT group so that this is very transparant to all and he was happy for me to proceed with that.
He went away concerned but relatively positive, so I couldn't have asked for anything more in this really.
