I often get phone calls from candidates right after a #merger as people don't feel they are getting clarity and don't feel part of the new entity. What does it take for a merger or acquisition to be successful? I encourage you to read these 5 lessons from M&A leaders from their experiences in post-merger integration, for a smoother transition and greater success.

I could not have said it better. If you want to make an #impact - "Your employees will care about your business only after you first show you care about them -- and one of the best ways to do so is to show that while you have hopes for your company's future, you also have hopes for their futures." - Mark Cuban #leadership

Fear. How does fear affect our lives and our #careers? As a #Accounting and #Finance recruiter for over 30 years, I push myself to get uncomfortable, but I don't have fear. As a newer golfer, I played in a women's league for the first time yesterday. The amount of fear I had was unbelievable, given I am a competitive person attempting something I am not good at, in front of talented people. As #leaders, we need to take #risks and put ourselves in #vulnerable positions to create the #impact our companies and our people need. I encourage you to face your fears, as that is the best way to #succeed and continuing growing. Korn Ferry #BeMoreThan

There are many factors facing #leaders today. The quality of leadership and their ability to be #changeready, #agile and consciously #inclusionary can be the difference makers.

My parents took me to the 1984 LA #Olympics. I will never forget watching #competitors, who've trained their entire lives and given up so much, #perform at the highest level to represent themselves and their country. I am so proud to be part of Korn Ferry, and their involvement with making the #LA28Olympic and #Paralympic Games a #success.

There is a great deal of #change in #Corporate America now. There is a great deal of #opportunity and also companies laying off. What should or can you do, if you have been #laidoff? This is a great article highlighting some of the #power you have. You might have more than you think. #headhunterthoughts

What does it mean to be truly #great at your #job? To me, it is #impact. Our ability to make a positive impact on #clients, #candidates, and #coworkers. What we do each day and how we treat people matters. Carla, who works for ABM Industries and is employed at United Airlines is who we should aspire to be. Every time I am at the #Denver airport, I seek out Carla. She makes my day better and makes me excited to fly. She shares her #joy for her job and in turn makes us feel #appreciative and #grateful. That is a gift. Who are you impacting? #KornFerry
