Having a long track record can certainly be a positive for a company, but legacy can also be an obstacle if the company isn’t nimble enough to change. Here’s how one CEO did it right.
The CEO of Whole Foods talks about becoming a “conscious leader” and why leaders need to think long-term, beyond Covid, and double down on their values.
A dozen CEOs and CFOs share ideas for using financial strategies and tactics to navigate the post-pandemic environment.
Fred Hencke leads Segal’s mergers and acquisitions solutions group. We asked him what the first six months of 2020 tells organizations about M&A today.
The answer is probably somewhere in between—and CEOs need to evaluate options now, particularly if depressed valuation has made the company a target.
During the Great Recession, the activist investor lodged a coup at Clorox to put the company in play—but then-CEO Don Knauss kept control by keeping his board close.
The decision you’re making may be right—but you’ll feel far more confident if you can come up with all the ways it might be wrong.
With soaring M&A expected in the post-COVID climate, CEOs would be wise to borrow a page from Stryker, which doubled revenue through dealmaking. CEO Kevin Lobo shares a detailed breakdown of how they do it.
In a sluggish market, opportunities for synergy abound. But if you don’t want your deal to fail in execution—like 80% of M&A—follow these six steps.
His ambassadorial—rather than monarchial—approach to transition will likely prove to be the right one.
