Interim managers are… 

..temporary workers; they takeover temporary managementpositions. For a certain period,usually 3, 6 or 9 months or morethey take over the responsibilityand take care of the operatingbusiness, or do something likethe fire brigade.

To restructur-ings or crises quickly and sus-tainably manage IM are some-times the first choice.

The interim management…

…in Germany is still not verypopular. While there are a num-ber of companies focusing onthe placement of specialized IM,the acceptance in the compa-nies is still relatively low, but it issubject to a steady growth.Many companies still refrainfrom this modern way to solvebottlenecks or problems, partly

from ignorance, partly out of fearof an independent expert to be

much changed. The companiesare committed to make interimmanager, are making most posi-tive experience.

The IM is independent and canusually quickly spot. Meanwhile,there are very many former en-trepreneurs or senior managersthat specialize in IM. The searchfor skilled makers usually lastsmuch longer. Very often havelonger notice periods and ad-hered to until a candidate isfound and the talks are suc-cessful, much time has alreadypassed, which may be missing.Here is the engagement of anIM clearly of great advantage.Even though it is more expen-sive short-term commitment toan IM (daily rates between1,000 and 3,000 €) so it may beprecisely the time of replace-ment is sought, then in a lot ofmoney is lost because no onereally cares for the task, orcompetences and powers has. Ifcustomers are lost or fires arenot deleted, the loss in the endis usually much higher.

IM are modern Legionnaireswhich quickly adapt and solveproblems. They are accustomedto take decisions and must takeno sensitivities to cliques orspecial considerations. Preciselythis is often a major problem atcritical times. For employees,this is not always easy, so natu-rally it needed from the IM alsoa lot of sensitivity. Sometimes

they help in the selection of asuccessor for the vacant posi-
