It’s important for an organization to have good leaders for daily operations. Usually, the leader who is most in the public eye is the CEO, but there are also other c-suite leaders such as the CFO (chief financial officer), the COO (chief operations officer) and the CIO (chief information officer).

Links Inside and Outside the Organization
The c-suite executives are in charge of different parts of the organization, and they perform the important task of linking that part of the organization with the rest of it. For example, the CFO makes sure that the organization is doing fine, financially speaking. However, s/he also connects the financial department with the other departments of the organization. Similarly, the CEO is generally in charge of making sure that everything within the organization is running smoothly, but s/he is also the link between the organization and the world at large.
Why an Organization Needs Executive Services
When an organization is lacking a c-suite executive, it means that the links within the organization, as well as between the organization and the world, are broken. This is why it’s so important to make sure that the organization continues to have interim leaders who will pave the way for the permanent ones.
Daily Operations, Strategy and Innovation
In fact, an organization, especially a non-profit one, can learn a great deal from getting a new c-suite leader. This is going to be someone with experience in their field who will also be able to look at what’s going on within their department or within the organization as a whole, with fresh eyes. Even though they’re only working on a temporary basis, they may be able to strategize about where the organization ought to go in the future. And they can continue to be a sounding board for management to make sure that everyday operations continue as before.
