Success Secrets for Interim Executives and Independent Consultants

No longer does an executive need to work for the same company year after year. Nor does a CEO need to spend months looking for the perfect executive candidate. There is a dramatic shift from needing to own an executive’s expertise
for a number of years to simply leasing expertise on an as-needed basis. How I Fired My Boss and Made More Money provides an insider view of how top-level executives are enjoying long and accomplished careers as interim executives and independent consultants.

“The gig economy is most often thought about as Uber drivers, Grubhub delivery people, Task Rabbit helpers, and so on. However, the increase in non-permanent work arrangements also now extends to C-level executives, who may not be accustomed to the freelance life. McAlister’s and Wasley’s book breaks new ground by helping senior managers
understand the relevant context and providing the how-tos for setting up a business and succeeding as an independent executive.”

This is How You Do It in the employment world of the future.”
