There is a human impact, and too often that isn\\u2019t taken into consideration or it is not given the consideration that is due. You think nothing is going to change? Think again. It already has the moment M&A is mentioned, and your people know it. More mergers fail than succeed, and the ill-considered impact on employees is a big reason. The only thing we have in business is trust and credibility. If you give those up during the current M&A project, you\\u2019ve given up everything. Don\\u2019t undermine the trust you\\u2019ve built in the team.
