Who
is
a Temporary Manager
Temporary
Management started developing
at the beginning of 90s and its
further speeding up in Italy was due to the laws on job flexibility
which allow companies to rent cutting edge HR, with a fixed-term or a
project-based contract,
without affecting long-term fixed costs. In
the current global scenario,
markets are more and more competitive and fast changing:
companies need solid, targeted and executive
skills, which rapidly step
into the organization, bringing in a
strategic vision, and allow the company not to miss turning-point
opportunities, by entering target markets in an aggressive way and
supporting the ownership
in the most crucial choices.
Unlike
a traditional consultant,
the Temporary Manager becomes part of the company during his activity,
he is no
"foreign advising body", yet he shares the daily company life and stays
in touch with markets and clients, from which he receives feedbacks
which he
then forwards to the company.
The Temporary
Manager
could also be overskilled for
his tasks, therefore he could have
already had a role as General Manager or Managing Director, since only
in this way he will have that global vision of the organization
allowing him to act knowingly and in a targeted way.
The Temporary Manager is a problem solver, has a flair for communicating, is determined to achive the set goals, is a natural leader and thinks like a project manager, gets his motivation from professional challenges, and he does not like routine. |
