What is interim leadership?

An interim leader is an experienced specialist executive who can be employed for a defined period to solve a business problem. It’s also known as 'fractional consulting' or ‘on-demand’. 

The person steps into an organisation’s leadership position part time or interim. Interim leaders possess strong leadership skills, a deep understanding of the function and industry, and the ability to quickly assess and address critical issues.
