Interim Managemnet

We do not stop reading and listening to messages that tell us that technology affects the job market, that profiles with more than 45 years have difficulties to be placed, and that times of uncertainty are coming. But where others see crisis you have to see opportunities.

Never, like now, have companies needed more talent and experience to solve their problems. But you will not be able to take advantage of those opportunities if you do not accept that the disruption that surrounds us also affects work structures, including those of senior management. You cannot be successful in the 21st century with structures from the 19th century, exhausted in the 20th century.

Interim management is the great revolution in the management world. If you have experience and the ability to lead projects, there are no limits to what you can achieve through this work model.

In this book, Jose Luis Portela, guides you step by step to turn your managerial experience into professional development opportunities. From the preparation of your mental frame to practical ideas to define your offer, know where and how to present it, and successfully start your career as an Interim Manager.

The stable work has finished, from now on we will be paid for results
