Timing is very important, as is the ability of managers to be aware of the feelings of staff in order to make well timed decisions. As a higher up it is vital to accept whatever emotional response members of staff have to the downsizing, as this makes for a strong leader. It is also best to prepare for a downsizing before it occurs and to put measures in place to help your staff handle the situation without being too badly effected, this way you will retain the trust, and the respect, of your members of staff.
