E150: Supporting Teams Through Mergers and Other Changes, With Nikki Adams
Mergers can tear teams apart… when they are trying to bring teams together!
Uncertainty spreads like wildfire, leaving employees anxious about their jobs and leaders scrambling to restore focus. Productivity plummets as confusion and fear take hold.
The best talent starts eyeing the exit, while the rest are stuck wondering if their contributions even matter. For leaders, it’s a nightmare—morale crumbles, resistance grows, and the stress of trying to hold it all together feels insurmountable.
That’s why we’re talking to Nikki Adams, the Joint Managing Director of Ad Valorem Group and a leader who’s been in the trenches of business transformation for over two decades. Nikki has built award-winning teams, steered organizations through complex mergers, and implemented strategies that turn chaos into collaboration.
Recognized as a Xero Mid-Size Firm of the Year winner and one of Practice Ignition’s Top 50 Women in Accounting, Nikki is known for her ability to unite teams, reduce stress, and make even the most daunting transitions a success.
In this episode of De-stress Your Business, we dive into:
The first steps leaders must take to calm employees and regain control during a merger
How to avoid the classic mistakes that stress employees and kill morale
Strategies Nikki uses to turn resistant teams into unified powerhouses
Real-life examples of mergers that went from disaster to triumph under Nikki’s guidance
If you’ve ever wondered how to manage a merger without losing your team—or your sanity—this episode is for you.
