    The New Science of Momentum: How the Best Coaches and Leaders Build a Fire from a Single Spark by Don Yaeger, Bernie Banks Learn how to capture—and keep—the awesome power of momentum! Most leaders believe in momentum—a phenomenon that's easy to perceive but difficult to define. Which is why so few have been able to explain how to spark it, sustain it, or steer it to unbridled success. Until now. In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author Don Yaeger and leadership expert Bernie Banks uncover what it takes to turn a single moment into unstoppable momentum. Drawing from eight years of research, over 250 interviews, and thousands of survey responses, they reveal a proven model for building momentum across sports, business, politics, and the military. You'll learn how to: Recognize the early spark of momentum and act on it. Build a culture that sustains momentum over time. Apply a research-backed model used by top leaders. Reignite momentum when it begins to fade. Whether you're leading a team or an entire organization, this book will help you harness momentum in every aspect of an enterprise—from team building to recruitment to communications—and make it last.

    The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Exploring Corporate Culture and M&A with Matthew Person
    Jun 25 2025
    Exploring Corporate Culture and M&A with Matthew Person Townsquare-advisors.com About the Guest(s): Matthew Person is the founder and managing director of Town Square Advisors, a firm dedicated to serving the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. He is a certified M&A advisor with extensive experience in buy-side mergers and acquisitions, having led private equity-backed global corporate development departments for firms like IDG, Blackstone, Vista, and TA Associates. Additionally, Matthew has experience as a Vice President at Capstone Partners and has worked with startups and growth-stage companies, exemplified by his tenure at Breakaway Innovation and Hybrid VC. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of The Chris Voss Show, Chris dives into the multifaceted world of corporate culture and organizational alignment with his guest, Matthew Person. Matthew, an expert in mergers and acquisitions, introduces his innovative Square Management System, a comprehensive framework designed to help businesses understand and intentionally cultivate corporate culture to achieve optimal staff alignment and business success. Matthew discusses the often overlooked but critical role of culture in the business environment, especially during mergers and acquisitions. Using his Square Management System, he highlights the importance of understanding corporate culture and the individual work preferences of employees to create a harmonious and productive workplace. This episode emphasizes that successful mergers often hinge on cultural fit more so than financial metrics and that understanding the preferences for independence or constraint can lead to better job satisfaction and performance. Chris and Matthew explore how culture isn’t just about perks like ping-pong tables but is deeply tied to identity, instruction, intercommunication, and feedback within a company. Key Takeaways: The Square Management System emphasizes four elements—identity, instruction, intercommunication, and information feedback—as crucial for understanding and shaping corporate culture. Employers and employees benefit significantly from cultural alignment, impacting individual job satisfaction and overall business success. Cultural fit in mergers and acquisitions can often predict the success or failure of such ventures, as seen in both infamous and successful M&A cases. Matthew’s approach underscores that there is no universally right or wrong culture; it's about finding the fit that aligns the company’s processes with employees’ natural work styles. Taking self-assessment quizzes can help both employees and executives understand their ideal work environments, ensuring better placement and higher retention. Notable Quotes: "Culture isn't just the ping-pong tables or Thursday beers; it's about identity, instruction, intercommunication, and feedback." "There's no wrong culture, just your culture, and it's crucial for executives to understand what aligns best with their organizational goals." "Successful mergers often hinge on cultural fit more than any financial metric; it's about bringing together compatible systems and people." "Great culture is alignment between the employee and the company. We've often focused too much on broad appeal instead of individual fit." "Our goal is to let people make decisions and own them within a framework that respects their independence and contributes to a high-performing team."

Championship bull riding takes seconds and the bull rider has a sizable support staff with the clown and pickup men. Ditto the military with its huge support staff and the comradery of others. Granted combat engagements are a longer grind than bull riding; nevertheless, Mr McGraw offers little to those folk in the world who are the one and only care giver for a permanently disabled adult child (or parent or sibling). Caregiving can be a unrelenting daily grind with no pickup men or corps members to provide support. Caregivers don’t deal with dangerous animals except sometimes an inner beast; caregivers don’t engage with enemies of our country but sometimes they have to fight the good fight to stop themselves from becoming an enemy to the folk for whom they care. Great leaders and the movers and shakers come and go. However, my accolades belong to those who pick up the pieces left after the leader passed by

Much Appreciation for W McGraw Accomplishments AND YET
