An increasing number of companies are turning to interim managers to help plug short-term gaps in expertise. Unlike external consultants, these flexible, self-employed executives are a much more cost-effective alternative to a whole group of consultants.

They work alone and often live in hotels away from their families often for months on end. It can be a lonely existence, but also a highly rewarding one  not least in monetary terms.
