An interim executive is not just there to keep things moving until the search is done.
A good interim helps stabilize the organization, surface the truth, and prepare the next leader to succeed.
Sometimes, the most valuable part of an interim season is what the organization finally stops avoiding.

When a nonprofit leader leaves, the organization still has to keep moving.
That is where the acting-versus-interim decision gets real.

A professional interim brings outside perspective, focused transition leadership, and experience navigating nonprofit complexity.
Neither option is automatically right or wrong.
The real question is: what does this transition actually need?
Because covering the seat is not the same as leading through change.
