“What’s the market like at the minute?” The first question I’m asked in 90% of my meetings. The very fact people are leading with that question partially answers it. I’d say it’s quite a ‘lumpy’ market. Pockets of significant opportunity and pockets that are really quiet. For those raising funding the debt market is strong but the equity market is slow. For those in the services sector it seems to be very busy, the same can be said for owner/operators. Manufacturing seems to be really quiet. From a talent and recruitment perspective, the conversations I’m having seem to focus on commercially minded leaders. People that satisfy the technical requirements of a brief but when it comes to discharging those responsibilities, they do it in a way that’s got commercial edge. These individual’s understand both the impact on the business and the market they’re in. I expect, as is the same in most years, things will pick up into October with a focus on the New Year.

Losing talented people? Post M&A, organisational change resembles a card game : shuffle – cut – redeal The changes leave you with -???????????fewer people, -???????????new people, or -???????????the same people facing different challenges Rethink what you need to work with in terms of talent. The casting of people, determining -???????????who goes -???????????who stays, and -???????????who goes where You make team restructuring harder than it has to be if you proceed with only superficial grasps of your people assets. You also might program people for failure…including yourself. This is the advice from Price Pritchett & Ron Pound. What's your view? ?? ---------- ??
