In the world of organisational support and management, “interim leadership” is a term that is not always well understood. At Wander, we are management consultants and specialise in interim leadership services, stepping in when organisations need more than just advice. We don’t just point out what needs fixing—we roll up our sleeves, step into leadership roles, and work alongside you to fix things from the inside out.
What is Interim Leadership?
Interim leadership means temporarily taking on key leadership roles within an organisation during times of transition or challenge. It’s more than consulting—it’s about taking direct responsibility for outcomes. This can involve strengthening governance, improving organisational structures, stabilising finances, developing new programs, refining strategy, or often, all of the above.
At Wander, our approach to interim leadership is hands-on. We embed ourselves within the organisation, working as part of the team to understand the challenges, make tough decisions, and implement solutions. We typically take on interim leadership roles for a period of three months, with a maximum of six months. If there is a leadership vacuum, we can step in to provide stability and direction until a permanent leader is in place.
Why Engage an Interim Leader?
Often, interim leaders are brought in during times of crisis or transition—when the ship is off course and immediate action is needed to right it. But organisations don’t have to wait until the situation becomes dire. In fact, engaging interim leadership proactively can prevent problems before they arise, ensuring a smoother path forward.
Our role isn’t to shame you or dwell on what went wrong. Instead, we focus on solutions. We aim to restore stability, build capacity, and set you up for long-term success. Once our work is done, you continue forward, stronger than ever, while we move on to the next organisation in need of support.
