After an acquisition, new leadership judges your team by the numbers that move, not by how hard everyone looks like they're working.That's a tough shift if you built your reputation on hustle. Colby Morris tells the story of Jason, a manager who reported to him right after his company was acquired. Jason was the hardest-working, best-liked guy in the building, and he couldn't survive the new scoreboard. Colby also owns what he didn't understand yet as a young director, and what he does differently today.If your company just changed hands and nobody has told you what counts now, this episode gives you a way to find out before your first real review with new leadership, get your team pointed at it, and handle the hard conversation with the person who's working hard on all the wrong things.What You'll Find in This EpisodeWhy doesn't hard work count after an acquisition?New leadership doesn't know your history. They didn't see the late nights or the saves. What they can see is a dashboard, and when leaders can't see the work, research shows they stop trusting effort and start looking for something they can count.What is The Currency Check?The Currency Check is a framework created by Colby Morris for managers whose company has just been acquired or has had a major leadership change. It has four moves: Count your old currency. Find the new currency. Convert your team. Tell the truth about fit.How do I find out what new leadership actually measures?They almost never announce it. Colby walks through where the new priorities show up first, the one simple ask most managers never make, and what to do if your team isn't on the dashboard at all.What should I do when someone on my team is working hard but not producing results?Start with one question: is this a clarity problem or a skill problem? The answer changes everything about what you do next, including the honest conversation most leaders put off too long.Quotes from Colby Morris"Busy isn't a number.""Every organization pays you in something besides your paycheck. After a deal, the currency changes, and nobody tells you the exchange rate.""Most Jasons aren't lazy. They're playing by the last set of rules, because nobody told them the new ones."Research and Resources MentionedGallup employee engagement data: the share of U.S. employees who strongly agree they know what's expected of them at work fell from 56% in January 2020 to just under half by late 2024.
