Change can require time to navigate. The search for new management in a private club environment is particularly challenging. It can be a stressful and time-consuming undertaking. A club searching for a new General Manager faces pressure to “complete the search,” but with an Interim General Manager, it’s possible instead to “strengthen the search.”
Engaging the best search professionals to work with you is paramount and represents the first step. The critical second step is to manage the club while the transition is underway. An experienced Interim Manager provides tremendous opportunity to ensure the continuance of quality, day-to-day operations and advance club operations in an expert and expeditious manner.
Interim assignments include the following positions:
• General Managers/Chief Executive Officers
• Clubhouse Managers
• Golf Course Superintendents
• Directors of Golf
• Fractional CFOs
