The Temporary Manager is that professional figure, that Manager who, after having gained experience of a certain kind, makes his excellence available to those who, for some specific need, need it.

The Temporary Manager is that professional figure, that Manager who, after having gained experience of a certain kind, makes his excellence available to those who, for some specific need, need it.
We have been talking about Temporary Manager since the 90s, but this type of professionalism remains unknown or known only in a partial and fragmented way without knowing its full potential.
But when is it necessary to consider the inclusion of a Temporary Manager in the company? In corporate life there may be a need to be supported by Managers who in the past have carried out in an exemplary way a type of activity that is required at that time. Very often these activities are strategic and must be carefully shared with those who have defined this need. The more urgent, strategic, vital the need is, the more important it is to understand exactly what is needed to act accordingly and in an accurate and precise way.
In these TM interventions it is strongly recommended to share the project and the need so that it is possible, together with the client, to define the best intervention plan. Too often this type of decision is taken alone (without talking about it) or in reflection and therefore passively because they are proposed directly to the property or Board of Directors by third parties without a thorough impartial analysis and sharing of the same. Almost always these are strategic choices that may or may not change the future of the company organization. We think that sharing and discussing the choices to be made is very useful both for the owners, who can also measure their ideas, and for those who live the company because they can glimpse gestures and initiatives that represent choices towards a different future.
Deciding if and how to insert a Temporary Manager is the first step, it is an important step, but it is only the first one. It’s also important to define the strategy of the project and the characteristics of the person who will have to carry out this delicate task; it will be necessary to be able to choose the best and most compatible professionalism available on the market. Often entrepreneurs or Board of Directors define the strategy of the project, but then neglect the most important aspect: the choice of the strategy actor. Due to the lack of support or total trust in the only candidate interested or proposed and for a series of coincidences, decisions are often made with scant sharing, with haste and almost no choice. But is this the best way to undertake a strategic path in the company? Are we sure that if implemented in this way, the project will work and bring the necessary and desired change? There are many examples of inadequate Temporary Manager choices and every day this number increases, so it is necessary for the company to make decisions in a different and shared way.

The Temporary Manager is a specialized professional who works in and for the company, with a specific vision on his project, he’s often oversized to the needs of the company and its organization, but well integrated because of its specific function.
When you decide to include a fixed-term Manager, you always start from a project often managed by external partners, but then for the strategic and execution part, companies should confront each other before choosing among several Managers, both on their approaches and methodological visions, so that they can then decide which one will be the best and most suitable to carry out that mission.
