Construction Employee Relations

When is the best time to tell construction executives about a new position when it involves bringing talent in from outside the firm?

Telling construction executives that a search is being conducted outside the firm for a new manager always results in stress to the construction executives. They usually imagine the worst-case hire coming in, forcing negative change and possibly their termination.
It is often best to tell construction executives that a new construction executive has been hired after the hire is consummated, yet before the new hire starts his or her first day at work.
