Description
The biggest mistake leaders do when they merge is hardly strategy or financials.
It’s underestimating the people's side of the transaction.
New teams don’t often work well together if they feel there is a cultural misalignment between the two organizations. As a result, they can't get rid of their past.
In today’s podcast, I share key lessons I learned from working with leaders and their teams during and after their M&As:
- Why culture matters during the due diligence
- The importance of building a new team identity
- How to drive engagement across companies
