"continued career success" after merger

continued career success
A merger can be a dreadful occurrence for many employees. However it does Not has to happen that way. It can be an opportunity for promotion, depending on how you view and work around it.

The recent reports had forecasted that more merger will take place due to economic pressure.

Here are some tips to help you to manage the transition and emerge stronger:

a. work on your fact finding and research.
Do both the secondary and primary researches. Primary researches are ones that you go direct to the sources and you are the first owner of the data. Secondary research is when you research on somebody's work, their books, reports,blogs etc.

b. Build the network:
It can be official and personal. In some region, the personal networks are highly valued. It is the relationship that build up the business. In the emerging chinese economy, it help to know the owner personally.

c. Understand the new culture.
Know the new management style, their expectation and modus operandi. Embrace and work within it. You will be a loser if you remain holding to the old way of doing thing. Do not be tempted by the notion of the ' the good old days'. Organization is the work of a group of people, sometime the dynamics of the group is more important then the individual performers.

d. Be seen to contribute.
There is no point to be the good man behind the horizon. Find opportunities to propel yourself into the lime light.
