I personally don't believe in this. The executive role is already multifunctional - you need to were multiple hats on the same day or even at the same meeting.
The biggest problem most of the executives have is time. It is a problem even for a single company. I don't think any company is interested in a part-time CEO/CTO. Some exceptions are possible (Jack Dorsey, interim-CEOs) but no more than that.
However, for ICs this trend will happen. People are not limited by a location and can do Consulting type job in any location. It is a great opportunity for businesses as well - to hire part-time the best of the best.
- culturestate 6y agoThere is a big difference between what an "executive" does at a 5,000-person company versus a 500-person company, and the latter (or even smaller, frankly) is where fractional leadership really makes the most sense. There are so many early-growth startups that could really use experienced leaders but don't have the funding and/or the track record to attract the kind of people they need on a full-time basis. Disclaimer: this is a big part of what I do for a living so I do have some intrinsic bias toward it.

I mostly know early-stage companies (10-300 people range). It is not easy to imagine how it might work on this scale. I'd appreciate some examples (job postings/blog posts).
