A story about a 25 year old accidentally increasing a company's sale price by three million dollars shows what happens when honesty gets in the way of a deal.
CEO Daily Brief is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. Hosted by Dr. Jessica Kriegel, Chief Strategy Officer at Culture Partners. She is frequently joined by John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura.
Jessica & John discuss what separates smart acquisitions from ego-driven ones, and why employee buy-in matters more than most due diligence checklists account for.
