(November 12, 2025) Behind every merger or acquisition is a complex mix of leadership behaviors, cultural expectations, and decision-making styles that can accelerate value—or stall it. In this session, Hogan Assessments and Hunt Scanlon Media explore how leader personality shapes integration outcomes, where hidden risks often emerge, and why understanding motives, values, and derailers is essential during high-stakes transactions.
This on-demand discussion features insights from Ted Bililies of AlixPartners, Mary Rachide of ICV Partners, and Kevin Impelman of Summit Leadership Partners, moderated by Hogan’s Kelsey Klausing and Emilie Seyfang. Together, they examine how personality assessments are used before and after close, how leadership fit influences culture and execution, and what private equity teams can do to improve alignment, speed, and long-term performance.
