Making changes

Depends what kind of changes you want to make.

There are some changes that you can make without management's help. For example, you and your colleagues could decide to treat each other better -- and succeed in doing that without anybody's help. But other types of changes are virtually impossible to make without management support. So, pick your battles carefully.

Co-worker cohesiveness is what gets us through.
