Curious Are there any major retailers in the market for a CEO? Instead of closing stores or filling bankruptcy protection why not turn the company around with a CEO who has the best interest of the employees and customers in mind? Too many companies take the easy way out instead of the tough way.

Today Legal & General set out a refreshed strategy, determining where future growth will come from, and how we’ll deliver for our customers, clients and shareholders in the years to come. As António Simões said this morning, we have a strong starting point: passionate and talented people, a proud heritage and compelling purpose, and market-leading businesses. Strengthening this starting point – by making L&G a simpler, growing and better connected business – will require different ways of thinking and working together. Alongside speaking to investors and analysts today, we’re focused on making sure our employees understand our vision for growth, by spending time to set out our strategy and answer their questions through a series of events. Earlier today I joined António Simões as part of an employee event attended by over 5,000 people. What impressed me most about the questions today is the commitment of our people to doing the right thing, and their appetite for evolving how we work and what we do. Together, we can continue to transform L&G, play a central role in meeting the long-term investment needs of society and individuals, and remain a great place to work.

Kicking off my morning with the IMpowerED Hour alongside my esteemed peers in law, tax, and finance. Our Triangle of Trust meets every Monday at 10 am EST, diving deep into pressing business challenges. Today's theme: Are you ready for a Breakthrough? We talked about navigating hurdles in business. My personal battle? Maintaining laser-sharp focus to meet daily goals. It's a tough road but one worth traveling for true business growth. Focus is not just key—it’s everything! To help with this focus, I learned that there are 4 types of people I should be speaking to 1) those who will hire me, 2) those who will invite me to speak at their organization, 3) those I can create an ecosystem merger with or 4) those I can recruit onto my team. Such a valuable insight, now to take ACTION! DM me if you'd like to join me next week! Drew Berman ⚡️ Melody Padilla Kevin Clark Levi Rovner Danielle Wagoner Daniel Ruth

With this month's focus centered around "hustle," Chris Chesney, during his stand-up meeting, inspired the accounting team to confront challenges head-on during this pivotal Quarter 1. Drawing wisdom from Marcus Aurelius, he motivated and challenged each team member to achieve their goals by embracing the idea that “What stands in the way becomes the way.” #farbmangroup #naifarbman #standupmeeting #accoutingtips

Accelerate Strategic Growth through Succession with Innovation and Clarity.

Let's talk real for a moment – setbacks in M&A are not the exception; they're practically a rite of passage. Picture this: you're cruising down the M&A highway, everything seems smooth, and then, bam! Roadblock. Whether it's unexpected market shifts, regulatory hurdles, or unforeseen challenges in due diligence, setbacks are part and parcel of the game.   Now, here's the thing about setbacks in M&A – they're not stop signs; they're detours. Sure, they might slow you down, but they also force you to reassess, recalibrate, and come back stronger. It's in overcoming setbacks that you truly separate the contenders from the pretenders. Adaptability becomes your greatest asset, and resilience, your secret weapon.   Every setback is a lesson waiting to be learned. It's a chance to refine your strategy, tighten your due diligence, and fortify your approach. So, when setbacks hit – and mark my words, they will – take a deep breath, regroup, and see them not as obstacles but as stepping stones on the path to a more robust and resilient M&A strategy.   #Setbacks #deals #navigatingbumps
