Here’s today’s 1:1 on feeling stagnant during a company acquisition … “I work in sales. My company got acquired by our competitor. The corporate company is not considering me for any positions. It feels like I am being stonewalled. How can I try to grow at this company? What are your recommendations?” Companies don’t always give you what you want. Acquisitions are also a very hard and sensitive time for companies as a whole. It’s so difficult to acquire a company, acquire a bunch of employees, figure out how you’re going to merge your systems, figure out how you’re going to integrate your people. During this time especially, you’re going to have to make your own opportunities at work. If they’re not giving you what you want, find another path to make an impact, learn and grow. Maybe it’s taking classes. Maybe it’s learning from people who exist at your current company. What you may find out is that the acquisition is not going to create big, new and meaningful opportunities for you at work. That doesn’t mean you can learn but long term term you may not want to be there. You may want to shift your thinking to what do you have to do there right now? What are the skills you need to develop? And where do you need to grow so you can take that knowledge with you to your next job. #1on1sWithErika #CareerAdvice

Q: What misstep can occur if a CEO focuses solely on short-term gains from an acquisition rather than its long-term strategic fit? A: The acquisition may not align with the company's overall strategic direction, leading to future integration and operational issues. Focusing on short-term gains is like grabbing a shiny object without checking if it fits the puzzle. It can lead to a mismatch that disrupts the company’s long-term strategic trajectory and operational harmony.

In M&A the announcement "We're going to merge" is the corporate version of "We're expecting". There's a mix of excitement and anxiety, with months of meticulous planning where everyone says they're ready...until the integration phase kicks in. Then you find yourself late at night negotiating who gets to keep what software, and quietly wondering if 'synergy' is just a fancy way of saying 'what were we thinking? The journey goes from "match made in financial heaven" to "maybe you need a corporate marriage counselor"-or, as we like to call it, a post-merger integration specialist. But fear not, navigating a merger doesn't have to feel like a Shakespearean tragedy. With the right strategies and tools, your merger can be less "Romeo and Juliet" and more "peanut butter and jelly"-a seamless blend destined to be together. ************************************* Struggling with Excel and email in your M&A deals?

YOU CAN LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE – BUT YOU HAVE TO WANT TO LEARN When it comes to company acquisitions, it's a common misconception that the more acquisitions you complete, the better you are at integration. However, let's take a moment to challenge that idea. The ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus tells us that “He who learns must suffer”. But unfortunately, the converse is not true. He who suffers does not always learn from the pain. You have to want to learn from your experience. You have to take the time to wonder why these problems persist. You must give some thought as to how they could be avoided. It helps to have enough self-awareness to realise that YOU might be the problem. There are many business owners, executives and investors who have experience of multiple acquisitions. For some, they learn from each experience and apply the lessons learnt, in order to create a framework for successful future integrations. For many others, they plod on, through the pain, and never stop to wonder why it all went so spectacularly wrong. Even though survey after survey demonstrates the failure rate of M&A integration, executives are not deterred from future attempts at buying companies. The same surveys show that most acquirers are “somewhat likely” (80%) to complete another M&A deal in the next 24 months. So, it follows, that most owners and executives are repeat offenders when it comes to getting integration wrong. In other words, M&A experience doesn’t imply that you are good at integrating companies. I mean, you wouldn’t ask somebody who was on their fifth marriage for the secret of marital bliss, would you? Successful integration is not about the quantity of acquisitions completed but the quality of integration achieved. Let's remember that integration is the glue that holds acquisitions together and paves the way for long-term success. By prioritizing integration, companies can unlock the true value of their acquisitions and create a unified and thriving organization. #culturechange #mergersandacquisitions #ceoinsights #valuecreation #businessintegration

Acquisitions are VERY tough on companies and employees. My observation is people make a lot of promises about what is or isn’t going to change but you have to use your own judgment to assess what your new work-life is going to be. If you’re going through an acquisition right now, I would recommend taking it easy on yourself. You might have thought you were going to like life post acquisition and you don’t. Just be honest with yourself about those feelings and put a note in your calendar for three months from now. Reevaluate how you feel then and don’t fester on it in the meantime.  #1on1sWithErika #CareerAdvice
