What the CEO Really Wants in Fractional Executive Leadership
About the event
Join us for a fast-paced, insight-rich discussion with CEOs who have hired fractional executives, as well as an industry expert. In this exclusive 1-hour online event, we explore the evolving expectations of companies seeking part-time or project-based executive leadership.
What separates a high-impact fractional leader from one who just fills a gap? What traits, skills, and approaches are truly valued by decision-makers? And just as importantly, what red flags signal a mismatch or a missed opportunity?
Our discussion will dissect real-world examples, share hard-won lessons, and offer practical guidance to help founders, hiring managers, and fractional leaders understand what “good” really looks like—and what to avoid.
Expect a candid, no-fluff conversation moderated to deliver value quickly. Whether you’re considering hiring fractional talent or stepping into a fractional role yourself, you’ll walk away with a clearer picture of how to present yourself and succeed in this rapidly growing model of executive leadership.
