Georgiy Michailov as a guest in the Podcast "CLOSE THE DEAL"

53 Min

Restructuring is a not always entirely voluntary way to position oneself more successfully, even after a successful M&A deal or in the course of succession in family businesses.

Struktur Management Partner have picked out precisely this part of management consultancy and, despite the elbow mentality in the restructuring business, do many things differently from the usual clichés in the industry.

Together with Managing Partner Georgiy Michailov, we take a look behind the scenes at SMP. He takes us into the topics of restructuring and leadership, which are inextricably linked, and we talk about soft skills and the human side behind M&A transactions.

In this episode, we shed light on

  • what approach SMP takes to restructuring, 
  • why they do not pay bonuses to their employees, 
  • whether the restructuring environment is really as tough as its reputation, 
  • which success factors contribute to a successful turnaround,
  • what role mental and physical health play in leadership, 
  • and much more...
