The conversation
Make the people work visible.
The webinar is built around seven practical ways bank leaders can guide people through a merger.
Give people something steady.
Use values and self-awareness to set a clear leadership tone while decisions are still taking shape.
Bring two cultures into the room.
Notice different responses to change, make assumptions discussable, and create reasons to collaborate.
Say what people need to hear.
Explain what is known, what is undecided, and when the next update will come. Recognize the people carrying the work.
