Successfully Managing Executive Dismissals to an Agreed Outcome

It is a fact of business life that from time to time businesses will have no alternative other than to release an employee, for all sorts of reasons, in the best interests of the wider organisation.

Non Executives - a way of connecting experienced directors with leading companies

Non executive directors can be extremely useful to any company. They can often see risks and opportunities in the marketplace that are sometimes overlooked by the executive management.

Appointing and managing an interim manager certainly throws up different challenges and benefits to employing a permanent member of staff. Interim managers are often appointed to manage change.
