The expected economic crisis during 2019 started a change in the \u201ctraditional\u201d expectations from the Board Members. Soon after, the pandemic crisis shifted the requirements to a completely different level. New positions have come into existence within organizations, and we all learned to work in a completely different way. Today, the current situation in Ukraine, economic sanctions on Russia, and the resulting reshoring wave, will lead to a business environment, that is far different from the one we knew 3 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The world of management and leadership has become complicated and new positions have come into existence within organizations.

There are never two identical post-merger integrations or two identical relocations of businesses. An interim manager must have the ability to face and align with the specific business situation.

Rather than asking others to fulfill a task, he\/she should take the initiative to complete it. A hands-on approach is the main sign of a professional interim manager. The implementation is what differentiates interim managers from typical consultants. Always focus on the ability of the interim manager to hit the ground running, take over responsibility and act accordingly. Being fit in shopfloor management, gemba walks, or preparation of a visual report from the obtained data are all signs that an interim manager is able to deliver the necessary change.<\/span><span style=\"color: #002c3e;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#E09900&#8243; min_height=&#8221;582.2px&#8221; top_divider_color=&#8221;#E8E8E8&#8243; top_divider_color_tablet=&#8221;#E09900&#8243; top_divider_color_phone=&#8221;#E09900&#8243; top_divider_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fade&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; top_divider_style=&#8221;slant&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;7%||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|10%||10%|false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #002c3e;\">5.

It is the job of an interim manager to support others in their development, and let them grow in their respective career. He\/she should motivate other people to bring the best of their abilities. Always be sure you are hiring an interim manager = someone who comes, delivers, and leaves. If your candidate is happy to stay on board after the project is finished (as a permanent employee), you are not talking to an interim manager, rather to an unemployed person happy and ready to accept any job to secure monetary income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.6&#8243; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; use_background_color_gradient=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color_gradient_start=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; background_color_gradient_end=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.6)&#8221; background_color_gradient_direction=&#8221;117deg&#8221; background_color_gradient_overlays_image=&#8221;on&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.eim.com\/cee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/12\/44141266_m.jpg&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_center&#8221; min_height=&#8221;600px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0%||false|false&#8221; top_divider_style=&#8221;slant&#8221; top_divider_color=&#8221;#E09900&#8243; top_divider_flip=&#8221;horizontal&#8221; bottom_divider_style=&#8221;slant&#8221; bottom_divider_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;zoom&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Title&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Prata||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Montserrat|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;5%||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fade&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;top&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;1350ms&#8221; animation_starting_opacity=&#8221;100%&#8221; inline_fonts=&#8221;Prata,Montserrat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: #ffffff; font-size: 32px;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.6&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||5%||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|5%|||false|false&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;flip&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_intensity_flip=&#8221;30%&#8221; animation_starting_opacity=&#8221;100%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Hiring an executive senior interim manager is a very different process than hiring of a permanent employee.

Although the trigger is similar, mainly the need to optimize costs,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In other words, if a company has moved some or all of its production operations overseas (offshoring) to reduce manufacturing costs, reshoring is the process of bringing some or all of it back.<\/p>\n<p>Reshoring and offshoring don't always have positive results, where a company underestimates the costs and the logistical planning involved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  margin-top-20 padding-top-5 padding-bottom-10\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.14.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.7.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.14.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<h2>Why do companies Offshore ?<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.14.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  margin-top-20 padding-top-5 padding-bottom-10\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e09900; font-size: large;\"><b>COSTS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Businesses are constantly seeking different ways on how to gain a stable source of revenue while at the same time sustain their day-to-day operations to stay competitive or even survive. However, due to the unpredictable and excessive fluctuations in the economy, most companies cannot merely maintain the cost of local activities and that is why they turn to offshoring as a viable strategy.\u00a0 Through reducing overhead costs, businesses can redirect their resources to allow their local workforce to focus more on their core competencies, and to prioritise revenue generating tasks.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #e09900;\"><strong>SKILLS SHORTAGE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The declining number of available job opportunities in different countries is one of the main reasons why most people disagree with companies offshoring their business operations. However, despite this situation, various industries are also struggling with how to overcome the rising number of skill shortage or by the lack of qualified staff to do the job. <span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Through offshoring, companies discovered that they could hire a team of highly qualified staff in low-cost countries who are ready to take on tasks that are frequently rejected by local employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e09900; font-size: large;\"><strong>RESTRICTIVE REGULATIONS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Companies have to deal with are restrictive local regulations that hinder them from reaching long term business goals.
