The Importance of Executive Interim Management
In recent years, the market for interim
management assignments has shifted dramatically. Executive interim management was once
primarily associated with temporary high-level hiring capabilities. Today, it's
more and more about clearly defined, complex jobs that require the temporary
application of one-to-one appropriate expertise and experience.
An interim manager is a seasoned leader who
prioritizes results. Interim Management is a safe, quick, and cost-effective
alternative when a company lacks a resource or the required competence during a
project, change, a special critical difficulty, or a vacancy. An interim manager
is hired for a specific length of time and arrives at your company on short
notice. You will gain access to a highly experienced and hands-on leader or
functional specialist in this manner.
The benefits of
an interim manager
Every time a company achieves great growth or
completes a turnaround in a previously failed segment with the help of an interim executive management team, word
travels that interims are a viable option for companies in need of temporary or
project-based leadership.
Result oriented- Interim executives are
evaluated based on their performance. They aren't consultants who are
well-spoken and present well-designed PowerPoint slides but have never run a
profitable organization. There aren't any temperature controls to keep the seat
warm, either. Interims are the ones who make things happen. The focus is on
implementation rather than theories and strategy. Interims take charge of a
project and see it through to completion. Interims, according to one executive
in our study, have a "laser focus on immediate objectives." Another
person described their role as "mission-oriented and goal-oriented."
Flexible and project driven- We live in an
on-demand world where companies must respond to rapid change and cost
challenges in real time. Interim executives add a level of operational
flexibility to firms, allowing them to remain adaptable. Are you working on a
one-time ERP implementation? Are you getting ready to sell your business? For a
short-term project, you can't afford the overhead of a full-time executive? Interim executive service makes it
simple to ramp up for a given project and then ramp down after the goal is met.
Force multiplier- Good leaders motivate people
and improve the lives of those around them. Interim leaders place a high value
on teamwork and mentoring. They are experts in identifying talent within the
company and placing people in situations where they can succeed. Many studies
point out that several interim CEOs used the phrase "empower" to
characterize their approach to team building.
Sustainability- Although the average interim
assignment lasts less than a year, the impact of an interim CEO on a company
lasts much longer. Interims don't only help identify their replacement; they go
above and above. Good individuals outlive good systems. When an organization is
solely reliant on one person, it is doomed to fail when that person is no
longer present. Interims establish the systems, leadership, and culture that
will ensure the company's long-term success. According to a poll respondent,
interims prefer to leave a company "in a better or improved position"
than when they came.
