It's past 11 p.m. and we still haven't finalized the response document we have to submit tomorrow. Several pizza boxes are piled up at one end of the table, and at the other, words and ideas are swirling around four people huddled around a laptop. A whiteboard on the wall still bears the outlines of what should be the definitive solution to the client's problems. But we can't seem to find it. After a week of intense work, the ideas just aren't flowing properly. Someone opens a window to let some in. fresh air and see if that clears and reactivates our brains.”
As they say, any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental, but how many times have we found ourselves in a similar situation and had to go looking for that "fresh air" Opening a window, taking a walk, or asking for the opinion of someone outside the team? When teams have been working together for a while, they achieve levels of efficiency and synergy that are very useful for certain types of tasks. But it's also true that in situations of change, transformation, or when a certain degree of creativity is required, it's necessary that this [something] be involved. "fresh air" to the group because it has reached a point of thinking as one, working in the same way as it has been doing for some time and needs an external vision, a renewal.
It is there, in those kinds of situations, where a Interim manager This can be very valuable. The fact that he is not influenced by the group's working methods, that he comes from outside with his past experiences and insights, and that he is focused on achieving specific objectives within a set timeframe, can represent a valuable contribution. "fresh air" so needed at times. From the perspective of Interim manager The recreation of the work team that will face the new situation is achieved. To achieve this, it will rely on a series of basic principles:
- Creating a new common approach within the team, which entails a new vision and new agreed goals.
- Team composition based on complementary skills.
- Clear definition of the roles of the people who are part of the work team.
- Fostering trust among team members through continuous and open communication among all of them.
All of this will facilitate the individual and collective commitment of the team and, consequently, the achievement of the new objectives set.
Let us then dare to open the window without further delay. In a time when changes and transformations must be made with a certain speed, an external vision, and collaboration from a Interim manager, can be very helpful.
Through the interim management It is possible to have executives available for a specific period of time related to a particular need. This contracting solution is widely implemented in the US and Europe as an alternative to permanent executive contracts.
