In Interim Leadership, "It's Not About Me": Jeff Shilling

Interim leadership is a career path many executives are taking, including those who have served as senior administrators in higher education. Jeff Shilling thought he would transition into full-time consulting work after he transitioned out of a full time role in advancement, but instead found an opportunity as an interim leader through WittKieffer. He then found that he enjoyed a new way to use his expertise to help organizations through leadership transitions. A good interim leader needs a few simple qualities, Shilling says: 

  • Being comfortable in your own skin, so you're not intimidated by a challenging new interim role; 
  • Humility and the maturity to know "It's not about me" in an interim role; 
  • Curiosity and being able to say, "Let me know how I can be helpful."
