Insightful article at the link below about the dynamics in play now where companies are benefiting from the use of fractional leadership in times of budget cuts and uncertainty. Bottom line, companies need seasoned leadership to navigate today’s challenges and headwinds, and some are finding ways to do that with a non-traditional model that is benefiting both them and senior leaders.

Some takeaways for me include:

• May provide senior leaders more work/life balance, but that depends on the company leadership style and culture for their own employees.
• Function being focused on for fractional work may not warrant a full-time employee yet so a fractional can be more cost effective.
• Fractional leaders may be more open to driving change than legacy leaders.
