For corporate executives feeling like they are up a creek without a paddle because of staff cutbacks and the challenges of a slowing economy, there is a ray of hope--according to the recently published book, Leadership On Demand: How Smart CEO'ss Tap Interim Management to Drive Revenue.

In a business environment that forces companies to accomplish more with fewer resources, the authors illustrate how the use of interim managers in key sales and marketing positions can make a difference in a short period of time without adding to fixed costs.
