We discussed that in this interview, but we also go deep into an article Steve published on his blog about how to handle that first month on the job as the new leader of a company you just acquired. This is a theme that comes up over and over in my interviews, and there is a lot of wisdom and actionable advice Steve has to share here. That transition period is so delicate and so overwhelming for you as the acquirer of a business that you just can't learn enough about how to do it. So enjoy the opportunity to learn in this episode from Steve Divitkos.
