Career Planning

Interim management can be an excellent career choice, however, it is not for everyone. Before taking the step into interim management it is important that you consider a number of criteria:

• Do you have significant senior line management or project management experience?
• Do you have an adaptable and flexible personality?
• Do you thrive in challenging and constantly changing environments?
• Do you have an immediate impact and confident communication style?
• Can you assimilate into a company easily?
• Can you operate in a professional yet politically detached manner?
• Are you a problem solver who is results orientated and delivery focused?
• Are you sufficiently financially secure to cope with periods between assignments?
• Are you a good relationship builder?
• Are you flexible as to the location of the assignment?
• And not to forget as your services will be invoiced: Do you have your own limited company?

If your answer is a convincing yes to all these questions you are an Interim Manager and may be considered as an Impact Player.
