By pat, No Comments
 

Change always needs to be managed and especially during a merger or acquisition.  Merger & acquisitions at best combines the resources to create a stronger business; at worst, if not done correctly can impact the success of the business. Combining separate cultures requires an extensive knowledge around how to best integrate the separate business entities.   As a manager, how can you contribute to the success of the new business?

I found this article in Businessworld, “Managing Employees During Company Mergers & Acquisitions” by Sachin Adhikari.

In today’s fast paced world, business is demanding and managing employees can be stressful.    Whether you are an experienced manager or just starting out on the management route, monitoring your emotions is critical.

Do You Encourage Cross Department Collaboration?

Most of us have tunnel vision and believe that what we do is more important than what another person contributes.   Customer Support feels that they make the company successful because they keep the customers happy.  It’s true, they do.  Yet the department is one of many other contributers who make up the whole…a successful company.

It’s important to be passionate about what you bring to the department, yet, step across the hallway and find out what the other important players of the company are doing.
