GRI Analysis
Know the behavioral profile
before choosing
At Manag-in, each manager is evaluated using the GRI (Growth Resources Indicator) — a behavioral analysis tool that reveals how the manager really performs under pressure.
Success in your industry doesn't just depend on technical skills. It depends on the manager's personal ability to integrate your culture, mobilize your teams and stay the course in uncertainty.
The GRI gives you access to this invisible dimension. Even before you meet the candidate, you know if their behavioral profile is aligned with the nature of your industry mission.
⚡ Unique on the market: traditional firms recruit on the basis of experience and network. Manag-in certifies each GRI profile to accurately identify the manager's personal ability to carry out your specific mission.
Decision Profile
How does the manager decide under pressure in your sector? Alone or collegial? Quickly or analytically?
Resistance to stress
Ability to maintain a clear course in the face of unforeseen events, internal tensions and pressures from customers or regulators in your sector.
Leadership style
Directive, participatory, transformational? The GRI identifies the natural style and its fit with your industry organizational culture.
Cultural Adaptability
Ability to quickly integrate the implicit culture of your industry and position yourself with authority from the first week.
Results-oriented
The GRI distinguishes between process-oriented and result-oriented managers — fundamental in your industry where deadlines are constrained.
Relational intelligence
Ability to manage customers, suppliers, regulators and partners with diplomacy and firmness simultaneously.
In your industry, two managers with identical resumes can produce radically different results. The GRI identifies which one is naturally wired for your specific situation — and saves you from making the wrong choice.
FAQ
Your questions about management
in the Chemicals & Plastics sector
How long is a sector mission?
Sectoral missions generally last from 4 to 12 months depending on the nature of the need. The first 30 days are devoted to diagnosis and operational management. With Manag-in, the manager is on duty within 24 hours and the duration of the mission is adjustable in real time.
What is the difference between a Manag-in manager and a sector consultant?
The sector consultant delivers recommendations. The Manag-in interim manager takes over the operational management: he manages the teams, signs the decisions and is accountable to the management for the results. He is GRI certified and selected for real missions in your sector.
Does Manag-in offer profiles that are truly specialized in my sector?
Yes. The Manag-in platform allows you to filter profiles by sector of activity. Each manager specifies his or her areas of expertise, verified past assignments and sectoral certifications. You have access to experts in your sector, not generalists.
Is Manag-in suitable for SMEs in my sector?
Absolutely. With fees starting at 8% (compared to 50% in traditional firms), Manag-in makes interim management accessible to companies with 50 to 500 employees that need a sector expert who is immediately available.
What is GRI and why is it important in my industry?
The GRI (Growth Resources Indicator) is a behavioral analysis tool applied to each Manag-in manager. In your sector, it reveals the manager's ability to integrate your culture, decide under pressure and mobilize your teams. Two managers with identical skills on paper can produce very different results depending on their GRI profile.
How does Manag-in select its sector managers?
Each sector manager is selected on the basis of their verified experience in your sector, their past audited assignments, their sector certifications and a GRI behavioural analysis. Availability is updated in real time. Commission from 8%.
