Fireside chat: Warts and all: managing friction between management teams and GPs
This will be a direct exchange between a midmarket GP lead, an independent portfolio chair and an operating partner on navigating leadership friction post-acquisition. Sidestepping the PR gloss, the conversation will examine the mechanics of difficult human capital decisions: managing founder-to-CEO transitions, restructuring underperforming executive teams, resetting equity incentive schemes and resolving strategic misalignment on 100-day execution plans.
