its niche market. The challenge, to integrate a smaller company into a larger one is to ensure its protection. Not easy! To overcome this challenge, I resolved to appoint the most competent leaders from both companies to the leadership positions of the new combined business unit. Instead of giving the top leadership positions to the acquirer only, I strived to bring together the best leaders from both worlds. Although it was not an easy task, I succeeded, and the integration became a huge success in the coming years. My advice to others in similar situations would be to always organize a leadership team based on their competencies and ability to work together as a team.
A strong corporate culture is built on the values, vision, and mission of a company, and it is essential to ensure that each employee understands what this means for them. Providing opportunities for engagement with the culture can help employees feel more invested in the company. Open communication channels internally and externally are key to maintaining a strong culture. As a leader, I believe in leading by example, whether it’s providing a work-life balance for my team or recognizing and celebrating individual and team successes. Hiring the right people who embrace the company’s culture is also essential for maintaining a strong corporate culture. By creating a culture that values communication, engagement, and recognition, a company can build a strong foundation for success and foster a sense of community among its employees.
