Dear community, from your point of view, what are the essential soft skills of an M&A manager?
I think organisational skills & the ability to mediate between parties is essential. A good project manager who is able to delegate and while keeping a good overview of all important topics will do well in M&A
I think an M&A person should understand psychology. For owner-managed businesses, casual talks with the owners may help to understand their “true” motivations and demotivations.
I think the following soft skills may help as a M&A Manager:
1. Problem solving skills
2. Ability to communicate effectively, with strong interpersonal skills
3. Understanding of the business and functional areas
4. Financial acumen
5. Ability to think strategically
6. Ability to influence corporate opinion and key stakeholders
7. Organizational knowledge and motivational skills (especially for integration stage)
