Where sudden and serious deterioration in performance has occurred, or where the need for improvement or change appear to come from poor management, the review and replacement of those people frequently becomes the priority. Business owners can be intolerant of poor performance, and in today´s fast moving world often demand immediate change. Senior Managers choosing to walk away from their perceived failure is less common in today´s marketplace, where the opportunities to move straight into another role is far less common, but does still happen, as does the spectre of managers collapsing under the pressure that this environment creates.
In such situations a successful approach has been to appoint interim staff to manage the business and deliver change whilst recruiting to identify and introduce the best permanent replacement.
Grey Matter NZ Ltd can offer experience of providing interim management, both in New Zealand and Overseas in situations where sudden poor performance or other significant events have lead to the need to fill senior management positions on an interim basis whilst identifying and implementing changes required to improve the business or business unit performance. Roles Grey Matter NZ Ltd have experience have included Managing Director, General Manager, Operational Manager, Project Manager, and Commercial Manager.
