A strong bond can also be an obstacle

In the case of a merger and cultural change, you have to know the existing culture and working methods, in order to be able to change this. It is also very important to have insights into what drives the employee’s to guide change. People can show every type of behavior, as long as they are motivated in a way that energizes them. Management Drives can clearly show you everyone unique drives and what energizes them. You need to understand those drives and approach every person in their preferred particular way.
