PODCAST: THOUGHT LEADER LIFE WITH MITCHELL LEVY

Jennifer with Mitchell Levy

April 1, 2020

Jennifer connects with Expert Mitchell Levy, a TEDx speaker and international bestselling author of over 60 books.

Here are a few highlights from this episode:

  • Having been through three multi-billion dollar acquisition experiences, I saw how the integration of cultures affects the org on how they perceive their mission and vision.
  • Orgs and companies that are doing #MergersAndAcquisitions have to deal with people challenges and the integration of cultures. How do you overcome those challenges?
  • Mid-market or Fortune 500 companies should think smart when it comes to #MergersAndAcquisitions in order to survive or prevent possible problems.
  • The people aspect when doing #MergersAndAcquisitions must be considered, as well as how to communicate the vision, mission and values in a way that galvanizes your workforce to really get behind them.
