In uncertain economic times, merger, acquisition, and downsizing activity increases as companies seek to streamline or strengthen their business in order to survive. But what happens in the post-transition workplace? Executives look ahead to new opportunities, while employees remain unprepared and unmotivated to make new strides. Middle managers flounder without answers for anyone. Without clear vision, functional structures, and effective communication, and feedback, many organizational transitions fail. The post-transition organization needs more than the economy's recovery to get back on its feet-- it needs effective leadership and management. And it needs a workplace that has let go of the pain of mismanaged transitions and is willing to charge ahead and capture the prize that awaits as new business opportunities emerge.
This insightful guide, by the internationally renowned management consultant Mitchell Lee Marks, presents an innovative process for workplace recovery. Charging Back Up the Hill lays out the essential elements of successful transition management, providing the techniques and tips that executives and managers can use to lead the organization following a merger, acquisition, downsizing, or other major transition.
