Visit listentophil.com ABOUT THIS EPISODE What actually destroys culture during an acquisition — the deal itself, or the way leadership handles the first 90 days? Most M&A failures aren’t operational failures. They’re confidence failures caused by unmanaged identity loss inside the organisation. Why culture integration fails when it’s treated as a post-close HR exercise instead of a pre-close strategic priority The leadership lesson behind The Walt Disney Company preserving the identities of Lucasfilm, Pixar, and Marvel Studios after acquisition A practical framework to identify and protect the three cultural non-negotiables that keep your best people engaged during change If you’re leading through a merger or acquisition, map the parts of your culture that genuinely drive trust and performance — then build visible protection mechanisms for them before the deal closes. The Partnership Playbook is the podcast for leaders who want to grow with clarity, create leverage through partnerships, and lead their teams with meaning. Each episode gives you practical insights drawn from two decades of building and backing companies, coaching CEOs, and closing high-value partnerships across industries. You’ll learn how to scale yourself as a leader, choose partners that help you grow faster, and turn trust, alignment, and first wins into momentum that lasts.
