Inside-Out Turnarounds

Turnarounds are often framed as a numbers game. Cut costs. Restructure debt. Hit the metrics.

But in reality, the hard work starts before the first spreadsheet opens. When a company is under pressure, the real deficit isn’t always in the P&L. It’s in trust.

That’s where an interim leader becomes a valued asset. They walk in with no baggage, no allegiance to legacy decisions, and no stake in internal politics. They listen. They cut through the noise. They uncover the truth that others are too cautious, or too invested, to put on the table. Unlike consultants who advise from the sidelines, interim leaders hold the seat, make decisions, and lead staff day-to-day while transformation takes root. And they do it with one goal: restore credibility so the team can perform from the inside out.
