Executive leasing is a generic term used to describe a growing segment of human resources management in Australia. Other descriptors that may be applied are freelance executive provision, mobile executive placement and temporary executive assignment. In the Australian context there appears to be a growing number of organisations specialising in the provision of leased executives. Executive leasing is not in the traditional mould of a career with its sequence of movements through a particular occupation, profession or organisational structure and is therefore a change from the familiar career role in the economy.

There are many definitions of a career and it seems essential not only to examine the career and the roles of that career but also the individual concerned.
