Top Management Exits in M&As (Smooth transitions, not rough landings) Mergers and acquisitions often spell change at the top. Here's how to handle it: 1. Plan early: Don't wait for deal closure. Start exit discussions during due diligence. 2. Review existing contracts: Golden parachutes? Non-competes? Know what you're dealing with. 3. Craft tailored transition agreements: One size doesn't fit all. Customize for each executive. 4. Communicate strategically: Timing is everything. Plan your announcement carefully. 5. Manage knowledge transfer: Departing execs hold valuable insights. Capture them systematically. 6. Handle with empathy: It's business, but it's also personal. Show respect and professionalism. 7. Mitigate legal risks: Consult employment lawyers to avoid costly disputes. 8. Align incentives: Structure packages to support a smooth transition. 9. Plan for continuity: Who steps up? Have a clear succession plan. 10. Learn from the process: Each exit is a lesson. Refine your approach for future deals. Remember: Handled well, top management transitions can add value to your M&A.
