<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Companies around the globe are increasingly pursuing M&A as a growth strategy. Odds are, at some point in your career, your company will be one of them.</p><p>Jennifer J. Fondrevay, an M&A expert who has led teams and brands through three separate multibillion-dollar acquisitions, reveals that these transitions are as stressful as a major loss or moving to another country. The normal human reactions of fear, anger, anxiety, and denial can make the experience hellish, make leading change overwhelming, and keep you from capitalizing on opportunities.</p><p>To help you navigate the chaos and your emotions and to see how M&A can, in fact, further your career, Jennifer has written NOW WHAT?, the guide she wished for years ago. Based on 60 interviews with M&A integration survivors and practitioners, NOW WHAT?: </p> <ul> <li>Explains the drivers behind M&A so that you can anticipate what's coming and start to appreciate where the opportunities might be.</li> <li>Exposes the post-deal experience for what it is: a journey from denial to acceptance through the M&A stages of grief.</li> <li>Identifies the "cast of change" characters (e.g., the Former Rock Star, the Black Widow, etc.) and how to engage them.</li> <li>Helps you construct a total "survive and thrive" game plan for cultivating the right mindset, collaborating with the "other side," and finding your niche to succeed.</li> </ul> <p>NOW WHAT? helps anybody in the middle of it all, from C-suite executives to team leaders and players, come out stronger on the other side to help their companies do the same.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Jennifer Fondrevay has created a book for people caught in the middle of M&A: the vulnerable middle managers and the many rank and file who are at the mercy of the dealmakers. Those execs have their playbook. NOW WHAT? is the playbook for 'everyman'." --Price Pritchett, PHD, M&A thought leader, author of <em>Lessons from 1,000 Deals</em></p><p>"In NOW WHAT?, Jennifer Fondrevay has created an indispensable handbook for anyone navigating corporate change. She writes from experience with compassion, wit, and insight. The book is equal parts humor (think The Office), drama (think Game of Thrones), and inspiration (think Eat, Pray, Love). If you are facing the emotional and political tsunami of a corporate change, whether M&A, restructuring or transformation, NOW WHAT? is your lifeboat to get your bearings, stay afloat and make it to shore with your job, dignity, and sanity intact."<em> --</em>Mark Bonchek, PhD, CEO (Chief Epiphany Officer), Shift Thinking</p><p>"Jennifer Fondrevay's book provides a wonderful opportunity to honestly reflect on what makes the complex world of M&A either a success or failure. For companies who acquire businesses, too often the focus is on valuations, deal models, or the desire to be acquisitive, but NOW WHAT? is a pointed reminder of the real key to successful M&A: people. Jennifer's writing encapsulates many realities of human psychology from both the perspective of the acquiring and the acquired, and offers practical and entertaining perspectives and advice on the opportunities, challenges, and watch-outs. This book is a must-read for leaders of all levels on both sides of M&A deals to maximize the opportunities for successful integration and value creation." <em>--</em>Joel Grade, EVP and Chief Financial Officer, Sysco</p><p>"Through a series of real-life stories and her own experience, Jennifer Fondrevay created an 'M&A survival guide' for every person going through an M&A experience. Her examples are relatable, and her advice is practical and to-the-point. Whether you are on the acquirer or acquired side of the deal, this is a must-read for anybody going through an acquisition. Thumbs-up!" --Ana Dutra, Global Corporate Board Director; Speaker, Best Selling Author of <em>Lessons in</em> <em>Leadershit: Detoxing the Workplace</em></p><p>"The letters "M" and "A" can bring panic to the people whose lives will be impacted by a potential merger. First things first: DON'T PANIC! Next up, READ THIS BOOK! Jennifer's decades-long experience with mergers and acquisitions provides the necessary tools to guide people through the perfect roadmap to follow to not just survive the process, but thrive. Change can be scary, but in this day and age it's adapt, change, or die." --Jeffrey Hayzlett, Primetime TV & Podcast Host, Speaker, Author and Part-Time Cowboy</p><p>"An M&A wreaks havoc on the emotional operating system of the people in your organization. With all the moving parts of an M&A, your most precious resource--your employees--are in fight and flight mode. Jennifer Fondrevay writes the M&A survival manual with surprising humor after 3 major M&A experiences. I encourage you to read NOW WHAT? to understand all the short-cuts to understanding the different personality types you will encounter so you're not sabotaged from the very start." --Caroline Stokes, CEO, FORWARD; Author of <em>Elephants Before Unicorns: Emotionally Intelligent HR Strategies to Save Your Company</em></p><br>
