There are a a lot of varying personalities on how they like things at JCI and M&A material is highly critical and sensitive information. The info is concrete and someone joining the team needs to capture this level of detail, but be bigger picture oriented to drive the documentation timeline forward (project management skills
Team is very formal with corporate development and items being asked need to be done the right way. they are more conservative. More structured thinking, not creative thinking. They dont need to come up with content, content of transaction is given to their team.
o Track the transaction:
o Understanding the transaction M&A deal.
Has to be project manager and communicate clearly. Understand structure and planning need to communicate that schedule.
They play conceptual role extensive PM but they have to go coortdinate input data print and write out.No, they need big picture and important tasks for today, tomorrow, and priority in order for what needs to be done its a mindset.
structured mindset
HR/communications is "fluffy" and example given was finance is particular and consise in understanding transactional information. they need that Finance straightforward type person structured approach and thinking.
Consultant mindset: ask questions, help recommend and define solutions, take initiative, push through project details. (not sit and wait for instruction)
