Product Description

Product Description
Interim Management provides practical advice on how to succeed as an interim manager. In this candid appraisal of interim management, Russell demonstrates the pitfalls and benefits of being an interim manager. Interim managers are most definitely not 'between jobs', but are a new breed of 'portfolio worker'. They are trained, professional, temporary managers, hired by organizations that need to increase their management strengths for a short period. They help to solve resourcing problems eg *they provide cover for someone who is absent or during a long recruitment campaign *they handle projects that could deflect senior management attention away from key objectives *international specialists provide help with acquiring, integrating, running and overhauling businesses overseas. Unlike consultants they take on full responsibility for the process and the outcome - they manage and do rather than analyse and recommend. They become part of the client team. There are approximately 10 - 15,000 interim managers in the UK. The market is increasing by at least 30 per cent per annum. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent summary for UK managers interested in profession, 11 Oct 2001
This review is from: Interim Management (Paperback)
Dennis Russell does a good job of covering over the business of interim management for both potential new entrants and for clients who what to know what to expect.

The advice is UK centric, so some aspects of setting up your business, tax, etc are specific to the UK. However the general principles are more than adequate to point international readers in the right direction.

Dennis Russell lays out both the advantages and disadvantages of becoming an interim manager, and is realistic about what it takes to be successful in this business. One piece of advice I found particularly useful was that most assignments will be one step lower than the highest rank you achieved in the public or private sector.

I found some of the specific advice on setting up very useful, particularly the advice about liability insurance - very important, and something I had not previously considered.

At the end of each chapter there is a key points summary. This book is now within arm's length of me at all times when I am at my desk.
