They need to be prepared by being part of Agenda setting. That is the kind of inclusiveness that need to be seen - not to sit down and broadcast the Agenda during New Year festivities - I m sure that is not good timing if you consider how executives operate - this is not the only important activity to some of them.  Therefore this is not 'sabotage' but an act of making things 'work better'..!
