Qualities and skills required from interim executives
Working as an interim executive manager requires a great ability to listen and integrate. Indeed, the function requires for the manager to intervene in decision-making processes, providing tangible solutions within a short period of time. The interim executive manager must be operational from the beginning of the assignment and for this, they must be:
Experienced
This is a key success factor for the assignment, in order to be able to understand and find solutions to all the challenges.
Leadership
They must be provided with leadership qualities allowing them to mobilise an entire team, sometimes facing tense situations.
Adaptable
Considered the urgency of the circumstances, the manager must be operational from the start of the assignment and have experience of similar challenges, in addition to being flexible and responsive throughout the assignment.
Objectives and result-oriented
The interim executive is an operational role and therefore, they must be able to quickly choose the solution that generates the best results. They are clearly oriented toward a logic of contribution and not a logic of power.
Mobile
Since assignments are carried out throughout Switzerland as well as internationally, the mobility of interim executive managers and their availability are crucial.
