4 Success Factors for Interim Experts/Managers!
?: Experience
☉ Identify what type of interim expert/manager (expert, manager or leader) is needed.
☉ Analyse the required mix of professionalism, personality and experience.
☉ Check whether the values match (cultural fit): Fit between the company (national, corporate, communication culture) and the interim expert/manager.
☉ Determine and negotiate your own price (daily rate, etc.).
☉ Agreement on a precise job description.
☉ Agreement on clear goals.
☉ Necessary data, resources and authority to act are the basis for success.
?: Inner attitude
☉ Courtesy and partnership in the sense of business etiquette.
☉ Active listening and taking different points of view (change of perspective).
☉ Appreciative communication skills.
☉ Forming opinions and making decisions only after all relevant information is available.
☉ Results-oriented self-reflection.
☉ Being able to question critically and say no clearly.
☉ Assertiveness (vs. empathy): rather more extroverted and less in need of harmony compared to a permanent employee.
?: Winning people over quickly for yourself and your goals
☉ Empathically and quickly gain the trust of everyone involved.
☉ What the first 100 days are for a salaried expert/manager is more like the first 100 hours for the interim expert/manager.
?: Hands on mentality
☉ The common goal is the success of the project.
☉ The goal is also a - one to several times - positive "Return on Interim Management" (RoIM) through increased efficiency, savings, etc.
☉ Active operational demonstration.
