Interim Leadership
Harness experienced leadership for smooth transitions.
People generally don’t like change. They prefer stability and predictability. When the comforts of the familiar are disrupted, people often avoid or resist changing. Therefore, the process of change has many challenges and requires someone who can lead with great wisdom, skill, care and often patience.
What we do
If you are concerned about having the capacity and capabilities to lead well during a time of transition, then hiring an Interim Mirador Leader can be invaluable. We are experienced leaders who have led transitions in various organizational contexts. Working together with your team, we will provide the leadership that is necessary to navigate the critical transitions that your organization is facing. During the interim we also develop the staff and organizational processes that will enable you to thrive in the future.
Our approach
The interim leader will work with your board, staff and key stakeholders to do the following:
Identify…
the particular leadership responsibilities that are strategic for the interim and other staff to fulfill during the time of transition.
Clarify…
the mission, vision and values of the organization and develop a strategic plan for strengthening its health and effectiveness.
Assess…
the organization's current health (financial, relational, missional, and management), challenges that interfere with organizational vitality (e.g., conflicts, lack of focus, leader fatigue), and opportunities for the organization to grow.
Develop…
the leadership of the organization through coaching, training and serving alongside the current leaders.
Address…
the future leadership needs. This step will involve identifying the responsibilities of the position and type of person needed. We then form and resource the search team as well as ensure the successful onboarding of new hires.
