temporary leadership

Temporary leadership refers to a situation where an individual is appointed to lead an organization or team for a limited period, often during transitions, vacancies, or special projects. This leader, known as an interim or acting leader, holds decision-making authority but does not have the long-term responsibilities of a permanent leader. Their role is to maintain stability, manage ongoing work, and prepare the organization for the future leadership appointment. Once the permanent leader is selected or the need passes, the temporary leader steps down, ensuring continuity without long-term commitment.
