Prospective buyers are often buying future earnings.  They want the company they buy to continue to operate well and to perform as well as or better than it did under the previous owner.  While transitions are rarely seamless, having a capable management team in place smooths the transition and can help customers stay engaged when the current owner sells.

How do you build such a team? 

1.  First, hire well.  A throrough analysis of the position and candidates is essential.
2.  Organize well.  Be clear about the duties and reporting relationships of each position.
3.  Train well.  Provide technical and non-technical training to help your people do their jobs better.
4.  Treat people well.  Pay and benefits are part of this equation, but only part.  Treat people well.  Provide
     them with opportunities to succeed and celebrate their successes to keep them engaged.
