Write a Leadership Communication for an Organisational Announcement

Act as a leadership communications specialist. I need to write a communication from me as [MY_LEADERSHIP_ROLE] to [AUDIENCE] about [ANNOUNCEMENT_TOPIC] (e.g. a restructure, a new strategy, a leadership change, a policy update). The audience is likely to feel [ANTICIPATED_REACTION] and my key messages are [KEY_MESSAGES]. Write a leadership communication covering: an opening that acknowledges the significance of the news, the announcement stated clearly without jargon, the rationale explained honestly, the impact on people addressed directly, the next steps communicated clearly, and a closing that is warm and forward-looking without being artificially positive.
