a leader/ manager, one circumstance you may encounter is the necessity
to integrate or merge two organizational units. This can be a very
stressful period where, if not properly managed, a good deal of tension
and/ or conflict can arise…often leading to decreased organizational
performance. Consider that seniors have dictated that your, and another
manager’s, units must merge over a period of the next three months. You
are to be the leader of the newly merged group, though the previous
manager will remain on staff. Your new boss-to-be has asked you to
immediately submit a merger plan.
* What are the arrays of issues/ challenges/ opportunities you face?
* What are the key elements of your plan?
* If you have previously been involved in an actual unit merger, please
feel free to share the organizational dynamics you experienced as well
as any lessons learned.
