Interim Managers think differently

Can Interim Managers be more effective than permanents?

Of course - because they're totally focused on finishing the job, not on keeping the job.

No worrying about what my boss will think when I suggest a new way of doing things which will increase the organisation's productivity, but may threaten his authority or team headcount.

No worrying about keeping the job as long as possible to pay the mortgage, what's more important is to deliver the required results in as short a time as possible- so that the customer is very happy.

It's a very different mindset delivering interim management services to that of an employee.
