We’re not just babysitting the mission.
Let’s clear something up: a professional interim ED is not just keeping the lights on.
The Placeholder Myth: Quietly sitting and waiting is not leadership.
What a Professional Interim Actually Does:
Stabilizes operations
Repairs relationships
Tunes the board
Finds the cracks
Manages the handoff
Why It Matters: Done right, the new ED steps into a strong, stable organization.
If your interim isn’t doing this, you deserve better.
