"Let me guess," my colleague jokes, "they want a five-legged sheep," when I mention that we've received another request from a potential client for the hiring of an interim professional.

As interim managers, we are often hired for change initiatives. There are consultants who guide the change, but operationally, someone needs to steer the ship (or change its course, depending on how you look at it).

I was standing with a bunch of flowers in my hand. The six months were over, final handshakes exchanged, and I was ready to go home. I could be proud because the targets had been achieved. The client was satisfied. Everyone was happy. Right?

I like to make myself redundant

Changes are often urgent and require quick action, while normal business operations must continue uninterrupted. When employees in key positions face conflicting interests, this can lead to shortages in capacity and experience. This encourages carelessness, delays or even underperformance.
Highberg's Interim Managers "focus" the power of change within your organization. In collaboration with management, they take responsibility for both leadership tasks and the implementation of change. This enables organizations to transform effectively and at an accelerated pace.
