Understanding the Different Fractional Executive Roles

The term "fractional executive" has gained remarkable traction.

Many of the business owners and leaders I talk with are exploring ways to add experience to their leadership team using fractional execs.

Having navigated the fractional leadership waters for over a decade, I find myself educating business leaders and fractional execs on the two different roles a fractional can fill.

Not all fractional roles are the same!

🔍 Advisory Role: You’re the strategist and the guide. You work with your client’s leadership team to look beyond the immediate challenges and focus on the long-term vision. It’s all about cultivating a strategy-first mindset and guiding the implementation from a distance.

🛠 Leader Role: Beyond strategy development, this role involves rolling up your sleeves, leading teams, and driving implementation. It’s hands-on, immersive and that comes at a premium price.

In this complex maze of fractional roles, clarity is key. Understanding which role aligns with your strengths and your client's needs allows you to position yourself effectively and carve out a niche in this competitive space.

Curious about finding your footing in the fractional world or need a nudge in the right direction? Let’s explore the possibilities together.
