Lizzy shares leadership transition advice

By Lizzy Mottern.

As your organization adjusts and innovates to move successfully through the COVID-19 crisis, you will have opportunities to evaluate your needs and rethink how you do what you do. An m+r interim solutions contractor can provide specialized expertise as a temporary member of your team to help during the transition.

At moss+ross, we view transitions – whether planned or unplanned – as opportunities to help clients navigate new challenges and emerge even stronger than they were before. For example, do not put off projects that will strengthen your nonprofit. See our website for a list of project ideas for which an experienced m+r interim solutions contractor can roll up his or her sleeves to work on with your nonprofit.

When clients who are facing a transition contact us to explore the idea of staffing support, we quickly customize an approach that results in a low-risk, flexible engagement with a highly-skilled nonprofit professional.  As we develop a plan, we help clients think through the following questions:

  • What does your team need most?
  • What are the most important projects that need to keep moving forward?
  • Are there current vacancies that need to be filled? Is the Board willing to support an interim leader?
  • How many hours a week do you think this work will require?
  • What do you need to do to become even better at what you do?
  • What will success look like?

As you figure out what the future looks like for your organization and who will be on your team moving forward, remember you don’t have to go it alone.  Whether you are preparing for a staff departure, building out a new position, or have simply realized you need to partner with an experienced expert for a little while, we can help. The moss+ross team stands behind each m+r interim solutions contractor to ensure the success of each placement. As we work with clients, we are grateful to have an immediate, meaningful impact.
