Rough economical times call for tough measures

 If there is a gap between your (short/mid term) strategy and the execution ability within your management structure, it may a wise thing to look for an interim manager.

This interim manager should: 

• possess an entrepreneurial spirit: he/she is not there to keep the desk warm, but to make a difference
• be temporary: executed changes that will hold up longer term, way beyond the interim period
• be decisive and transparent: tough measures call for strong management and communication
