Impact of Culture on Mergers and Acquisitions
no matter how adept top executives have been in working the art of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), many are now singing the post M&A blues. According to a KPMG International study, 83% of mergers and acquisitions fail due to mismanagement of cultures. Merging balance sheets it turns out is far easier than merging cultures. Executives must therefore analyze the culture of the two companies before considering a merger or acquisition.
SME's - major external reason for failure
My auditors claim that South Africa has one of the worst payment cultures in the world
Visionarys Disease and the CEO
We all know the value of vision. The Greek philosophers spoke about it. Former President George Bush recommended attention to "the vision thing." What happens when an organization's problem isn't a lack of vision but too much? What happens when the CEO's vision changes monthly, weekly, or even daily-driving his organization crazy? Welcome to Visionary's Disease. If you are consulting to someone who suffers from it, you are probably very frustrated.
Work Skills Transcend Cultures Work Habits May Not
Since Chally is strongly established internationally, we're often asked what has to be done to alter the testing for different cultures around the world. For the past six years, we have been tracking performance on a Chally assessment versus actual performance on the job across many countries. Our goal was to develop a research database that would highlight differences that were based on geography or culture. For our comparisons internationally, we chose geographic, cultural, and economic regions that were very different. These included England, Sweden, Denmark, India, Indonesia, Australia, South Africa, Mexico and French Canada. The results were somewhat surprising, but very logical. Our research results provided clear evidence that the skill and competency scores are stable and equally applicable across cultures all over the world.

Hostages, Revolutions and Critics
Most uprisings and revolutions find their beginnings in injustice. The French and American revolutions are two examples, and we can trace this back to Greek history. Democracy started there. The people had a justified outrage and managed to change things.
Five Ways Forward-Thinking Leaders Are Using The Recession To Build and Reposition Their Teams for Rapid Growth
Over the past eight weeks, I have been interviewing CEO’s of Team Cultures for my upcoming book and have learned some great tips to share with you about how they are strategically benefiting from the economic downturn. Just like the TIGERS universal team values, these tips offer common sense solutions that many individualistic cultures will find difficult to implement due to burdensome hierarchies and competitive infrastructure.

Honor Without Envy
Aeschylus, one of the three great Greek writers of tragedy said, "It is the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered." Employees that know how to follow and support their managers, make good leaders. Without followers, contributors, supporters, and those willing to help when not receiving notoriety there are no leaders.

What's under your sales-bonnet ( Final)
Graham, cut-in abruptly, "OK, ok, let's let sleeping dogs lie, Johno's gone, and good luck to him, we will also see him at the pub on Friday, he's not going too far. He's a good mate, just tired and over-it and that's fair enough, it hasn't exactly been a party around here for a while. Let's move on to the present." I was impressed with Graham, he was a big man, and I felt his big heart, and from what I could tell he was the leader although the Greek wore the title of Managing Director.

Mentoring - It’s All Greek to Me!
Did you know the first mentor was Greek? It’s one of those funny things where a guy was a mentor and, by coincidence, his name was Mentor. King Odysseus (he was Greek too) asked his friend (named Mentor) to watch over his son while he went away to fight a war. Old Mentor was a wise, sober, and loyal fellow and did a great job influencing the young man for the good.
Is internal competition eating away at your sales results?
Many sales cultures are traditionally based on respect for authority, status and success, and encouraging competitive, challenging and achievement-oriented atmospheres. Although this is not true for all businesses, especially in the 21st Century! There are a growing number of businesses adopting more collegiate, lead team approaches. However, despite different types of cultures, sales performance and results are usually derived from the efforts of individuals. Harnessing those individual efforts to achieve synergy (the sum is greater than its individual parts) is a key task of management, yet so many get it wrong. Let’s take a look at one case study and see why.
