Why interim executives are in high demand

Interim leaders are no longer just gap-fillers—they’re precision instruments for high-stakes moments. In a landscape defined by disruption, the organizations that win are the ones that leverage on-demand leadership not as a stopgap, but as a strategic accelerator. This signals a fundamental shift in how agility and trust are deployed at the top. Sean Poellnitz Organizational Leadership Architect

Companies that adapt to the changing workforce will thrive. My clients want HR help but really don't need me fulltime. They're getting the HR help they need without a year's salary + benefits.

Thanks for Sharing Absolutely agree—the surge in interim executive demand highlights a deeper issue: organizations need leaders who can stabilize chaos and uncover what’s hidden beneath it. This is exactly where Elite Executive Leadership and the Paradoxical Theory of Change come in. Most interim roles focus on external execution. But real transformation starts from within. Blind spots—those unseen beliefs and behaviors—undermine even the most seasoned leaders. The Paradoxical Theory reminds us: Change happens not by trying harder, but by becoming more of who you already are. Our method helps leaders reveal what they’ve ignored, rewire internal narratives, and lead with aligned identity. That’s how you turn short-term placement into long-term impact. – Coach Don Martinez Domar Companies, Retained Executive Search, Executive Leadership Master Coach and trainer Psychometric and Assessments MCC | NLP Master | Executive Leadership Strategist www.coachdonmartinez.net
