Ep. 9 | Your Next Leader Might Not Work Full-Time… And That’s Totally Fine with Gerard Milligan
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
More companies are starting to realise something practical. You don’t always need another full-time executive sitting on payroll. Sometimes what you need is someone experienced who can step in for a period of time, bring perspective, calm things down, and help the team move forward without locking into a permanent role.
In this episode, Rich and Gerard talk about why more leaders are turning to fractional leaders to support growth. From tighter budgets in APAC to faster-moving markets in the Middle East, and a growing acceptance of flexible leadership in Europe and North America, they explore what’s behind the shift and what it means for CEOs trying to grow without overcommitting.
