Interim leaders may be brought in to fill an executive position due to a planned or unexpected departure, they are not simply placeholders.

 
Interim Leaders have become critical to organizational leadership stability especially in the past 18 months. While Interim leaders serve for various reasons and in a number of capacities. Here’s several we’re highlighting:

Expertise During Growth and Expansion:

During a transformative period, such as fast growth or expansion, hiring an interim leader such as an Interim Executive Director, Interim CEO & Interim Manager will enable your organization to gain access to the expertise and skills needed without having to create a full-time role. This will help you to quickly scale up without adding employee headcount.

Buys Time & Reduces Risk:

Hiring an interim executive while you conduct a full-on search for a permanent hire, is a worthwhile investment. It allows your organization to take the time needed to onboard the right fit. Organizations that are too quick to pursue perceived right talent may experience costly hiring mistakes and cause a negative impact on staff and operations.

Ease Heavy Workloads:

Hiring an interim who is an industry expert can offer help with a heavy workload or during a crisis. Industry professionals can hit the ground running and seamlessly get the job done without a training period.

Address Spike in Turnover:

If your organization is experiencing a spike in turnover at the executive level, an interim leader can be key in assessing the role and making suggestions for what to look for in the next hire. Interim executives can offer consultative advice, options and a fresh perspective.

Offer Innovative Ideas:

Interim leaders are seasoned industry professionals who have a wealth of knowledge and experience that can complement your internal team. They often possess the expertise required to complete certain projects or initiatives plus, they bring innovative ideas and new skills that your team might need.

Solve Existing Challenges:

Interim leaders often serve as consultants who can assess your organization’s current challenges from an objective perspective and evaluate the issues with fresh eyes. What’s more, they’re unencumbered by protocols, politics or conflict of interest.

The current business environment in the industry demands agility and flexibility. Interim leadership can assist you through these transformative times and bring new insights and innovative approaches. They’ve seen a little bit of everything, so they are good at stepping-in and managing tough situations which is what your organization may currently need to avoid any business disruption.
