Common Problems
Senior managers tend to be very stretched and stressed just trying to keep everything functioning on a day to day basis. This is especially true just at the moment, with the economic climate hitting both cash flow and staffing levels. Here are some of the common problems that senior managers face that might be best resolved by bringing in an interim manager for a period of a few months:
- Are you so busy coping with day to day issues that there is no time to plan for the future?
- Has the order book changed so rapidly recently that you know longer know what parts of the business are profitable?
- Is low morale affecting the team's performance?
- Do you know you need some new systems to improve efficiency and effectiveness, but lack the time to project manage the change process?
- Has a key member of the management team left, leaving a void that nobody understands how to fill?
Rare Solutions
Interim managers can offer a good solution to problems such as these.
- You get the benefit of an experienced manager for a few months to get you out of the current difficulty, but without having to add another senior manager to the payroll.
- An interim manager won't be dragged into the office politics, and can look at issues with fresh eyes.
- Interim managers have senior management experience within many different companies, and can therefore suggest approaches that those within the business have not come across before.
