Using Fractional Leadership for Business Transformation
Fractional Leadership refers to the practice of hiring seasoned executives on a part-time, project-based and/or contract basis.
This leadership model has grown rapidly in popularity, especially among startups and small to mid-sized businesses. It gives organizations access to top-tier executive talent while remaining financially agile and operationally flexible.
Increasingly, senior executives who have reached a point in their careers where work/live balance begins to take center stage, are stepping out of high-powered roles and opting instead to seek work on a “pay as you go” basis as fractional leaders. Post-pandemic shifts in work practices (such as working remotely) have also altered how many senior leaders think about time, values, and balancing priorities. For some, it is the allure of being able to continue to make significant business contributions on a more part-time basis balanced with the ability to work around personal and family priorities.
