Why are human dynamics of mergers and acquisitions so challenging?
In this episode Warden Hoffman outlines his observations, findings and ways of working when it comes to organizations and teams that merge. Warden developed this curiosity early in his career and after being exposed to M&A in many of his roles he found himself consulting to numerous organizations and teams post-merger.
We explore a series of questions:
What are the human forces that slow down the creation of a new entity post-merger?
Why former organizational identities matter so much?
Why are mergers prone to create competitive dynamics, even when that's not needed and what are the competing for?
What are some practical ways of addressing these very challenging dynamics, when planning a merger or leading merged teams?
