Today we dive into the strategic importance of interim leadership in times of organizational transition. I am pleased to welcome my guest, Sandra Murphy, a seasoned nonprofit leader and Board Chair of YWCA Greater Flint.

Sandra walks us through her journey of recognizing the need for change — both within the board and the executive leadership of the organization. Following the resignation of their CEO, she took a proactive approach, and her leadership through uncertainty highlights the critical role of interim executives in resetting culture, rebuilding trust and preparing the organization for long term success.

Interim leadership is not just a stop gap but a strategic investment. This episode is a master class in how interim leadership, when done right, can be a catalyst for sustainable growth and mission alignment.
