And the Oscar goes to...
The least unusual thing to say today, is to confirm that companies face drastic and rapid changes. The effects of pandemics and economic downturns are the constant and most popular enemies, but there is more: mergers, acquisitions, or sudden restructurings among executives.
Whether the changes are big or small - they are inevitable. Whenever there are periods of intense structural change, you need a leader who can lead the team through these changes, someone who is flexible, adaptable and focused on results.
It is the Interim Manager, who is likely to reach for the Oscar in the category of Most Effective Change Leader.
Are you ready to take on such a challenge? Yes, to you, dear Interim Managers, we speak today!
Your resumes are a written confirmation of your professional path, its structure and the pace at which you moved while gaining more experience. However, a company that has already decided to invite an Interim Manager to the captain's bridge will focus on your impact and achievements, as opposed to your roles and responsibilities.
Organizations, those in crisis especially, are looking for people who drive change. They are looking for people who can attest to their experience in navigating business transformation or creating projects and processes from the ground up.
Let your track record do all the work, but remember not to stop with the feeling that your experience is enough and the stages of improvement are behind you. Only a leader who knows that he doesn't know everything, but draws on his practical experience to update his knowledge and search, is able to become a reliable Partner for someone who entrusts the fate of his employees and his own into your hands.
