A day in the life of an Interim Manager

A day in the life of an Interim Manager

What does a day in the life of an Interim Manager truly look like?    Perry Evans, Director of Interims at RSA, global leaders in Life Sciences Executive Search and Interim Management, discusses the benefits, challenges and qualities that make an Interim Manager successful in the pharmaceutical industry of today.

With many companies  facing a permanent headcount freeze due to the recession and junior employees with little experience increasingly looked upon to take on more complex work, companies are being left in a challenging position for delivering on agreed activities and objectives.

This article looks at the challenges an Interim Manager faces when entering into a company as a senior employee, but remaining independent from the company culture. What skills do an Interim Manager need to have to ensure projects are successfully delivered and any issues resolved/averted along the way, along with what personal traits/characteristics lend themselves to Interim Management.

Perry talks to two seasoned professionals about their experiences within a number of interim positions; what made them move from a successful corporate career to interim management, the benefits of such positions, and their advice for those looking to make the leap.   They also discuss how to successfully juggle a work-life balance when on assignment in more than one country.
