    Technical skills (accounting, financial modeling, legal, etc.), commercial and strategic vision can take one only so far. Psychology is known to play a significant role as well.

    Hi Lorian,

    I think the mindsets for sellers or buyers can be the same to be successful.
    I would think that if the people’s mindset is:
    – Humble: Handle each other with respect. Not one needs to feel better than the other.
    – Curious: Ask questions to each other, to better learn each other.
    – Cooperative: With a cooperative mindset you try to avoid getting into “them” and “us”, but you jointly become 1 team.
    Just my humble view. I am curious what others will reply.
