Prior to coming on board, you were given the history of these two organizations
and the background on the management style of both leaders. It became
quite clear that this merger was going to be challenging, given the drastically
different cultures of the two organizations. One of the companies was headed
by a gentleman known for his casual, fatherly and employee-centric approach
to business. This CEO allowed for an informal work environment that included
all-staff coffee breaks and casual attire. The other company was run by a
gentleman who was known for his thousand-dollar suits and a “take no prisoner”
approach to business. This CEO wanted the job done, and he wanted it done
yesterday.
