An interim executive is a full-time C-suite rental option. Bringing interim executives into companies because change is needed. They may need to grow to the next level, help with declining revenue, revive the business, prepare for mergers or acquisitions.
Interim officers are able to deploy within a few days and have an impact from day one. They are like special forces of the executive world, parachuted in a difficult situation and solving specific problems.
Why you choose the path of interim management? What sets it apart from permanent executives?:
“Good interim leaders embrace and execute change. They manage transitional change situations positively. They have situational experience that others do not have or avoid others. “
“An interim executive is more goal-oriented and focused on accomplishing the mission with no interest in job longevity.”
“The company is hired for an interim for a specified time to get through a specific issue, while being focused on sustainable long-term and profitability.”
“Looking to set, establish and transition. Watch the system work its magic based on what you helped build.”
“Independent, unbiased, efficient, highly-qualified and experienced, focused on getting things done, immune to hierarchy and politics.”
Benefits of Interim Managers:
In addition to a faster business cycle and higher employee turnover, trends driving the expansion of the interim specialty include global competition, disruptive technology, a growing economy and recessionary fears.
The benefits brought to the table by an interim manager for what type of weight leaders the organization needs are:
Cross industry skills and expertise:
Interim officers are compared to a rolling stone that is no moss. Always moving from company to company, they do not develop institutional blind spots that can set in after years with the same organization. The heart does not stop. They are always at the cutting edge. They have access to the latest skills, thinking, talent and technology, and in many cases, cross-industry expertise that allows them to implement best practices from one business to another.
Results oriented:
Interim officers are measured on results. They are not advisors that give a clear sound and have impressive-looking PowerPoint slides but have never led to successful operations. They do not even have a temperature there to keep the seat warm. They make intimate things.
Force multiplier:
Good leaders inspire others and improve the people around them. Interim officers grow up on team building and mentorship. They excel in assessing talent within the organization and placing people in positions where they can excel.
