Merger: Out of the crisis and into a new home
A merger is imminent — and it is not clear whether our customer’s division can find a new home.
That is why we decide to implement a programme that strengthens the resilience of the entire management team. We know that dealing with stressful emotions such as resistance, anger, sadness and resignation during the merger is a particular challenge. That is why the focus is not on professional and mental fitness, but above all on emotional balance.
The management team explores its resources in five steps. The participants look at their purpose and their contribution to the new company. What do they want to tell about themselves, their past and their future? What is the narrative?
At the end of the journey, the purpose — the WHY of the area — is formulated, the handling of feelings in crisis situations is tested and the idea of one’s own effectiveness becomes clear. Equipped in this way, the team can successfully position itself in a new environment and forge new relationships.
The management transforms the crisis situation of the merger into a new situation of strength for itself and its employees.
