Part 5/8:
Every organization has its "sacred cows," or employees who, despite underperformance, remain untouchable due to long-standing relationships or familial ties within the company. Under private equity ownership, these sacred cows are no longer guaranteed a place. The new owners will scrutinize all roles, assessing whether each team member adds economic value to the company. If you have non-performers or individuals who aren't aligned with the business's goals, they might not stick around for much longer.
