1. Richly rewarding experience

Interim management assignments are for people who like change and see it as a source of motivation and intellectual enrichment. Each assignment is a new adventure, full of richness and variety. It brings new experience, new structures, new people, new ways of thinking and new solutions to new problems.

Without going into a long list of cases where interim management can be used, we'd like to point out that many situations lend themselves to interim management, and that these situations correspond to major moments in the life of the company, or to high points in the life of a team or department.

2. A variety of assignments

Each assignment introduces you to a new environment, and gives you the opportunity to work independently while being supported. You need to enjoy a challenge and be willing to take risks. From mission to mission, there's no such thing as routine. But you need to be able to adapt, because each new assignment is a new adventure, with new people to deal with.

3. Challenges

Closely related to the previous point, the challenges faced by the interim manager can be of varying degrees of importance. However, if we refer to the traditional cases in which interim management is used (bridging management, growth management, managing difficulties, optimizing an organization, etc.), it is easy to understand that complex situations can often arise. An interim manager will be able to distinguish himself at these critical moments in the life of the company.

4. The opportunity to reposition oneself professionally and develop skills

Each assignment allows you to remain active in the field, gaining experience and know-how. We know from experience that interim managers always gain new skills with each new assignment they carry out, and that their skills portfolio is enriched as a result.

5. Leadership and its benefits

An interim management assignment can be an opportunity to reposition oneself professionally: it is not uncommon for a major group to choose to extend the interim management assignment, or even decide to recruit the profile, for the skills it has demonstrated and which would not have been mobilized in more conventional circumstances.

6. The acquisition of relational and managerial skills

Each new assignment brings you into contact with a variety of people. You need to be up and running quickly, highly responsive and highly adaptable. You need to be able to mobilize your teams quickly to bring the assignment to a successful conclusion. This is when the interim manager must prove that he or she has fully understood the ins and outs of the assignment... including the organizational aspects. Successful integration into the company's "organization chart" requires knowing who does what, and creating a solid network of internal relationships. Tact, diplomacy and empathy are essential to the success of the assignment.

7. Mobility

Some prestigious assignments require mobility on a national or international scale. Often reserved for high-profile assignments, these correspond to the needs of major groups looking, for example, to expand abroad. This mobility enriches the experience of the manager on assignment.
