Your Guide to the Takeover Marathon – „Blueprint of a Takeover“ by Judith Geiß!
I like to compare American takeovers of German companies with a marathon that many of those affected treat as if it were a sprint. I know the reaction all too well. As soon as the first requests and requirements arrive from the new parent company in the United States, only one thing seems to count on both sides of the pond: speed. One email after the other arrives, peppered with tight deadlines. With some luck, there will be a good team, which will put in the overtime together, work weekends together, and help each other when the going gets tough. Still, not even that team, in and of itself, will be enough to guarantee that the takeover succeeds.
Even the first American takeover I went through felt like an entire series of sprints—one after the other. Ever since, I have acted as an interim manager, project manager, and mentor for numerous German companies and their employees during the difficult time following their takeover.

AVOID THE CHAOS AND MASTER ANY AMERICAN TAKEOVER

The Blueprint of a Takeover is a guide you can use to navigate your new day-to-day. You will learn what you can do to prevent the takeover marathon from becoming a permanent, energy-wasting sprint.

WATCH THE TRAILER!
This book will lead you from the widespread, but unhealthy sprint mindset to a sound marathon mindset. And with that, you will be able to provide the support the management at Mittelstand companies need to make the best of the opportunities following any takeover and to prepare the employees for their new future as a subsidiary of an American company.
Together, we can turn your American takeover into a success story. This book is your guide from here on out.

About Judith Geiß – why I have something to teach:
Hi, I’m Judith—and I know how Americans think. Some ten years ago, my then employer was taken over by an American company. At first, I was frustrated and was put off by some of the conduct engaged in by my new American supervisors.
But then I made a decision: I didn’t want to be so frustrated—instead, I viewed my situation as a professional development opportunity.
And it paid off—because I would not have become the expert for American takeovers that I am today.
Make your decision.
