In this insightful episode of our podcast, we sit down with seasoned M&A expert Mark Walztoni to delve deep into the significance of culture in mergers and acquisitions. Mark, who has a wealth of practical experience, defines culture as a blend of the ways people work and treat each other, as well as how they interact with customers and vendors. He emphasizes that culture is largely determined by behavioral aspects and serves as an outcome of various other elements. Mark shares his traditional yet effective approach to assessing culture: communicating directly with individuals, understanding who thrives and who struggles within a specific environment, and pinpointing key factors for successful acquisitions. He also introduces us to his preferred model for cultural assessment, Jay Galbraith's Star Model, explaining how it offers crucial guidance in answering queries related to organizational culture. In any M&A, Mark stresses the importance of evaluating not just the culture of the company being acquired but also the acquirer's culture. Further, he underscores the need for a clear vision of the prospective combined culture post-merger. Drawing from his extensive experience, Mark provides various real-world examples of M&A in diverse industries such as IP-centric firms, banks, and medical device manufacturing. We also delve into the subject of cultural transformation. Mark suggests that change is only effective when the discomfort associated with the change is less than the discomfort of maintaining the status quo. Understanding this principle, he says, is crucial for any long-term, transformative change to stick. In a unique twist, Mark discusses how his hobby of restoring 18th and 19th-century paintings parallels the process of M&A, shedding light on the intricate dynamics of blending cultures and preserving heritage. Lastly, he talks about the often-overlooked concept of 'change readiness' during M&A cycles, emphasizing its pivotal role in successful integration.

The current public health crisis has left many of us with a whole mix of emotions, sometimes all in one day. We are experiencing a global shift in our day-to-day lives, our understanding of the world, and our thoughts about the future - not to mention the uncertainty of both what is happening now and what is yet to come. To help us grapple with our thoughts and feelings during this stressful time, Eric invited Dr. Divy Ravindranath back to the show. They talked about Divy's experience during this time, and how people are responding to the pandemic. Divy described this event as one of many different stresses but also of loss, and he explained how people may be going through the various stages of grief. He mentioned how this is an unprecedented time with a great deal of uncertainty, and he shared some strategies for dealing with the anxiety that comes with that. And they discussed how people can take care of themselves, what society can do to support people who are having a difficult time, and how dancers can manage their relationship with dance during this time. To leave you on a positive note, they end with a reflection of some of the good that is happening now and some optimism for the future. footnotesThat Discomfort You're Feeling Is Grief (Harvard Business Review)On Grief & Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss (Amazon.com)Managing Transitions: Making the Most of Change (Amazon.com)Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes (Amazon.com)

In this special "double-episode" Kristy Braden and Brad Smith discuss the phases of personal transition that are under the surface of any change, and what leaders can do to help themselves and others navigate through these phases in the context of the current pandemic.COVID-19 has caused a major disruption to all of our professional and personal lives. Without knowing how long these conditions will last, or what a "new normal" might look like, leaders can't provide the level of clarity that employees seek during a change. What leaders CAN do, is recognize the three phases of transition that everyone goes through in reaction to change, and take some simple actions to address the issues and opportunities that typically arise within the Ending, Neutral Zone, and New Beginning.Brad and Kristy review these transition phase (as first described by William Bridges in his book, Managing Transitions: Making the Most of Change), what these stages look like in the context of the current pandemic, and tools Inflection Point Leadership has crafted to help leaders make shift happen within each phase.To request the Navigating Transitions tool, email Brad@inflectionpointleadership.com.To learn more about how IPL can help organizations, teams, and leaders at all levels lead what's next, visit our website at iplshifthappens.com.

Are big changes on your company’s horizon? William and Susan Bridges, authors of “Managing Transitions: Making the Most of Change” suggest asking three questions to make things go smoothly.

Changing jobs. Moving. Getting married. Having a baby. If you’re preparing for or experiencing a transitional time in your life, this episode is for you. This week’s guest is a high school English teacher, bride-to-be, and host Sharon’s “birthday twin” sister. She’s also one of the most giving and caring people we know. Philly has been a font of ideas for show topics since Design Yourself launched nearly a year ago. One topic that she suggested for a solo show early on was resources for moving through transitions. Especially “happy” transitions - like getting married or having a baby - whose growing pains are often ignored as the focus is on the “big event” instead. Rather than approach this topic on her own, Sharon invited Philly - who is in the midst of one such transition herself - to come share her ideas for what it’s like to be living through transition and what resources and mindsets might help along the way. Hear how Philly has wended her way to becoming a teacher and listen to these sisters talk about tips for moving through transitions. “You can do theory, theory, theory all you want, but until you are in front of the room doing it, you are not sure if you are going to enjoy it or be successful at it.” – Phyllis Lipovsky “Focus on yourself. You can only do and change what you can do and change.” – Phyllis Lipovsky IDEAS SHARED Tips for transitions Be clear on what you want out of your transition Create a dialogue for “real talk” about your transition Focus on your inner game (e.g. What can I do to be self-sufficient/strong through this transition?) Name what’s motivating you to move through your transition Honor that your emotions will change throughout  “Perform” your transition in whatever way feels right to you Know yourself (e.g. What you want right now may not be what others want for you. It may not even be what you want yourself over time. Be clear on what you want in this moment.) Understand that things will always be changing Name what skills you have that will support you through your transition. Identify places where you have gaps and ask for help. Remember we are in transition every day Do you!
