Companies are always looking to grow. They strive to increase
revenue, improve efficiency and profitability and ensure they are best
positioned to capitalise on changes in their markets. This often drives
the need for the engagement of an individual to guide the business
through change and transformation. The demand therefore for help in the
short term from someone to guide them through this continues to
increase.
Traditionally, the image of a typical interim
manager was that of an individual who was at the end of his/her career
and he/she chose interim management in order to stretch his/her career
further.
How the times have changed. Many career paths are now
following the temporary and flexible working route as a career of
choice. Interim provides more choice over work life balance and with new
ways of working and the rise of social media it’s never been easier for
an interim manager to raise and boost their profile.
According to
multiple surveys what really appeals to today’s interim manager are new
challenges and the opportunity to make a difference. Assignments are
focussed on results and delivering real benefit to the organisation.
This in turn requires someone to provide objectivity to the Board and
doesn’t allow nor does it need time spent on company politics.
A
career as an Interim Manager isn’t for the faint hearted. It requires a
particular mind set and a determination and focus to get results. This
is usually refreshing to the organisation and provides a platform to
help move their business forward.
Whilst the rewards and benefits
are appealing and the barriers to entry relatively low, there is little
point embarking on this career choice if you prefer the status quo.

personalities with cultures, and goals with capabilities to create
sustainable and mutually beneficial relationships.
