Welcome to another episode of the Private Equity Podcast. Today, I'm joined by Scott Cook, an experienced Chief HR Officer with over 100 add-on acquisitions under his belt. We dig into what really drives successful integration—nailing culture, managing change, aligning roles, and avoiding the classic post-acquisition mistakes. If you want a no-nonsense guide to people, process, and performance in PE-backed services businesses, this episode is a must-listen.[00:00] Over 100+ add-on acquisitions and integrations, with a focus on commercial and residential services.[00:29] Private equity mistake: solving adaptive people problems with technical solutions.[01:51] Example: pay plan integration fails without addressing pride, fear, and control among legacy staff.[03:49] Change takes time, but skipping the adaptive side slows everything down.[04:45] “Intervention without diagnosis is malpractice.”[05:12] Change process: Transparency (what we know/don't know), Humility (not always right), Authenticity (real conversations).[07:38] Run changes in parallel to prove success before full implementation.[08:33] Adaptive resistance often comes from fear of loss, not logic[09:30] Key issue isn't just communication—it's the resistance behind it.[10:55] Missed clarity of roles and vision derails integration.[12:22] Diligence mistake: confusing deal confirmation with actual diligence.[13:21] Integration failures often come from ignoring cultural misalignment.[14:47] Early lesson: distinguish between necessary and unnecessary endings—prune what's dying or holding growth back.[17:08] Win trust early by changing non-critical items that don't affect frontline staff or customers.[19:30] Founders often don't work out post-acquisition—PE firms struggle to make them fit.[20:34] Sellers always experience some remorse—plan for it during diligence.[22:00] Ask: “What does ending well look like for you?” Define success before they exit.[24:23] CFOs and CEOs shouldn't be in the weeds—define direction, context, and outcomes.[26:44] Great CFOs provide context, not micromanagement. Great CEOs delegate integration to focus on growth.[29:32] Former founders can still add value via advisory roles or special projects.[32:24] Pest control and HVAC still hot—residential M&A picking up, commercial lagging due to government slowdown.[35:20] Resi/commercial services sector is early in its PE wave. Tons of opportunity, but plagued by poor leadership and weak diligence.[37:37] Rise in fractional execs to bridge early-stage post-acquisition gaps.[38:39] Book recs: Why Should Anyone Be Led by You? – leadership authenticityFalling Upward – personal development and meaningNecessary Endings – pruning for growth[40:30] Scott reflects on making work meaningful in the second half of life—impact over income.[40:58] Falling Upward explores this journey.[41:28] Connect with Scott Cook on LinkedIn. Thanks for tuning in.Subscribe for more episodes on  iTunes & SpotifyGot feedback or questions?

Susan Winchester is the outgoing Chief HR Officer at Applied Materials and Founder of Healing at Work. In this episode, Lauren and Susan discuss: • The significant role of early traumas in shaping workplace behaviors and interactions. • Strategies for using workplace conflicts, or "bumper car moments," as catalysts for personal development. • How to assess suitability for roles as you advance in your career Key Takeaways: • Self-Awareness is essential for recognizing personal and professional growth areas. • Rather than being “triggered” by conflict, how can workplace conflicts be seen as opportunities for healing and development. • Damaged is not doomed – just because you have experienced difficulties in your past, it does not have to control your thought processes and actions. • Continuous Learning: The importance of adaptability and ongoing skill development. "Damaged is not doomed, and the rest of your life is yours." -Susan Winchester "The majority of us, according to the research, actually grew up in dysfunctional homes... what we don't always realize is how much those experiences in the past are actually affecting us every single day in our careers and our workplaces." -Susan Winchester Reach out to Susan at: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanschmittwinchester/ Learn more about Healing at Work: www.healingatwork.com Buy Healing at Work at: https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Work-Conflicts-Overcome-Deserve/dp/1951744527?ref_=ast_author_dp Reach out to Lauren at: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenherring/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LaurenHerringCareerExpert Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenherring IMPACT Group Website: www.impactgrouphr.com IMPACT Group LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/impact-group/ Get the book, Take Control of Your Job Search here: Paperback Book: https://amzn.to/3tibaCz ebook: https://amzn.to/3dk4Cy5

In this episode… In the competitive world of recruitment, discovering A-level talent demands a strategic approach. To facilitate more informed decisions in assembling a high-performing team, what are essential questions to ask to gather a deeper understanding of candidates? Uncovering A-level talent necessitates a thoughtful approach. To build a high-performing team, former Chief HR Officer of LinkedIn Steve Cadigan advises defining the culture you aim to cultivate within your organization. Besides asking what sets you apart from industry giants, clarify why potential employees would choose your company. During the interview process, Steve says it's vital to delve into the candidate's resumé to understand why they left previous roles and pinpoint their proudest achievements. Uncover their experiences with managers — both positive and negative — to gauge their expectations. Additionally, assess the environments where they've thrived or created.

“We've had 115 acquisitions. That's 115 individual small businesses who've become part of Inszone. How do you connect that? How do you make people feel like they're part of one company? says Matt. “We put this quarterly meeting in place where we have the whole C suite on and focus on three things, ‘Where are we at? Where are we going? And how are we going to get there?'On the podcast this week, Matt talks about his accidental fall in to the insurance industry. “It's a little story about dumb luck. I saw an ad in the paper. I called and got an interview but went to the wrong place. They were in a hiring frenzy because they had just come to town. I ended up in the insurance department that settled total losses.”He discusses feeling like the dumbest guy in the room whilst working for NASA and his love of organizational development. Matt joined Inszone Insurance Services in June 2023 as Chief HR Officer. In January of that year, the business had a headcount of 220. By the end of the year, it was over 500. Continuing on their acquisition of 50 insurance agencies per year, Matt is responsible for fostering an inclusive and collaborative work environment. “In the next couple of years, we will be several thousand people. I was brought in to help usher through the next 2 to 3 years of incredible growth. To make all of these individual small businesses feel like one. To bring team members together.”Matt explains the key to Inszone's success being a three-legged stool approach. Employee culture, carrier relations and being client centric.“Taking care of folks, Chris and Norm started another business in 2014 called Staff Boom. That business has 1500 employees. 350 are dedicated to Inszone, all the back-office functions and administration. The insurance agents can spend their time either selling or servicing the clients' needs. It frees them up to have a decent work life balance.”Matt highlights how Inszone create moments of connection and embed new insurance talent in to the business. “We call out everybody that's a new acquisition and make sure that they feel welcomed. The cadence of doing that quarterly is really important.If you're not always talking about where the company is at and where it's going, it, it disconnects people. They don't feel like they're part of something.”Matt emphasizes the importance of management training within the Inszone culture. “Traditionally, owners pick the best widget maker. They're the best at doing what they do, but might not have any idea how to manage people.A business can really struggle they don't have the skill set of how to communicate, solve conflict, motivate teams. Or how to drive results and make the business unit feel cohesive.When I came into Inszone, I asked for a list of every manager we have in the company. I broke them up to groups and every single month we have management training. 78 people where we talk about best practices.”Matt discusses insurance talent retention, employee recognition and creating a collaborative culture. “Those moments of connection where a manager just lets people know that they care about them. Calling out good things. That form of employee recognition is missing in so many businesses. People will stay at a workplace where they're treated well.Most companies have no idea how much money it costs them when a great employee leaves and walks out the door with their institutional knowledge.”When it comes to hiring high-performing insurance talent, Matt encourages leadership candidates to be real. “Be yourself. Be transparent with your strengths and weaknesses.I'll use myself as an example. I love training and development. I love culture. I love organizational development. But if you need me to do spreadsheets all day, Math was never my strong point. If somebody says, ‘I just work too...
