KEYNOTE
Author and national thought-leader Sharon Heaton calls empathy the secret to a successful deal. “It’s not about killer instinct or being smarter than other people. It’s not even about the megatrends going on in the market. The secret to a successful deal is to be able to see everything from the other person’s perspective. If there’s a superpower in M&A, it is empathy.” Hear why the heart of the deal drives likelihood of close and post-deal integration.
