After the Merger:
Every Leader’s Ten Essential Steps for the First 90 days
� Understand the Merger Value Proposition. Use it as your guide for every decision.
� Quickly make appointments to management roles.
� Create a strategy to identify and retain key employees, customers and partners.
� Communicate early and often. Create mechanisms for two-way communication.
� Decide what will be integrated, kept separate, eliminated, or built from scratch.
� Build your team.
� Create transitions teams.
� Focus your personal attention on the critical few issues. Delegate other decisions to your direct reports or to transition teams.
� Pay attention to the differences in corporate cultures and in language.
� Breakdowns will occur. Use them as valuable learning experiences.
Ann Kruse serves as confidante and thought partner for leaders during major organizational changes. During times of uncertainty, a leader’s every word is amplified. Having a confidential external sounding board and thought partner gives you space to explore, clarify your thinking and make sound decisions.
Here are the words of one of my clients, a CEO of a non-profit: “As I led the merger of two organizations, with all the challenges and uncertainties that entailed, I welcomed our coaching time as a time when I could close the door, slow down, think and reflect. The reflection time led to unexpected and valuable insights.”
