What you need to know about 'fractional leadership' — and why this CEO thinks it's the future
Holding out for the gold Rolex when you retire isn't the goal for many leaders anymore. Chris Gannett, the founder and CEO of believes fractional leadership is the way forward. He's launched a new leadership model called the "fractional boardroom," which is driven by the changing nature of work. More professionals are seeking portfolio careers and a better work-life balance. Over three decades, Gannett has built a "fabulous network" of talented people through multiple career reinventions. His varied path led him through the world of consumer goods, finance, and media, from Dr. Pepper, Mondelez, Citibank, and Sony Music Entertainment, to becoming the CMO of American Idol. "All of these are steps that cumulatively allow me to do what I do today, which is reinvention," he told Business Insider. Gannett, 52, wanted to invite some of those he met along the way to his new venture, which aims to help budding entrepreneurs turn their visions into reality through training, coaching, and investment. He also spent a lot of time away from his family over the years and wanted to change that when he started creating a fractional boardroom of executives who felt the same. "Executives who have a similar profile to myself, we've been operating for 20 and 30 years," Gannett said. "We're very well established in our careers. We want more agency, and we want to work on projects that inspire us, and we want to work with people who give us energy." In the two years since launching, has gained clients in 10 countries across 15 industries and continues to expand. 'Outcomes, not optics' Two members of the fractional team at are Gregg Bernard, the CBO at the AI video platform Channel 1 and former executive of WWE, and Rob Sender, who was the senior director of brand and marketing for the Dallas Cowboys. Bernard told BI he was attracted to the fractional model by its focus on "outcomes, not optics," and how leaders can bring in the exact expertise needed to a company, rather than "settling for generalists." "You're not hiring someone to warm a seat or deliver a deck — you're engaging a group of seasoned operators to solve real problems at high-leverage moments," he said. "For early-stage and growth companies, it's also a way to access executive-level talent that would otherwise be out of reach, financially or structurally." Bernard said fractional leadership is a "smarter, more flexible way to work," and founders "will feel that difference immediately." Sender told BI the effectiveness comes from diverse perspectives "without the commitment or risk of hiring full-time." "Especially in the early stages, most companies don't need — or can't afford — a full-time CMO or COO," he said. "This approach gives them the ability to bring in experienced leaders who've operated at the highest levels, but with more elasticity and a sharper focus than they'd get from a traditional consultancy or playbook-driven firm." Sender said that for him, he gets to choose projects that genuinely excite him, which makes it a better fit when he's working with a new startup. If there's another leader who is a better fit, that's fine. "That optionality creates real alignment," he said. "You're not assigning work, you're matching energy and expertise to opportunity." For Gannett, culture has always been super important. He believes that with a fractional boardroom, everyone is fully engaged, and "learning from each other," he said. 'Sustainable model' "The type of executive that we're increasingly bringing around us is these folks who are very good at what they do, and they have the same type of curiosity that I have," he said. "By working on projects that are outside the scope of their day job, which they're fully engaged in and highly competent at doing, they're just constantly fed, their brain is fed, and our clients are the beneficiaries." Gannett said he's "quite bullish" about the future of fractional leadership, seeing it as a "very sustainable model across all industries."

Finally, a reason to return to office. Okay, Michael Scott. Assie and Potato are both great contenders. Regina George, is that you? Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions... Let's keep it moving, people. God hasn't got all day. This has a bit of an ominous undertone. A little bleak for a Valentine, but I'll take it! Can't argue with that. These coworkers are keepers. Nothing wrong with a little compliment to start your trip! ...Okay, I guess that makes sense. :/ I used to do this to people, and I can confirm that it also brought me a laugh. I'm glad this person specified. I think I'm okay with Wendy's real fresh beaver, but thanks. I understood that reference!!!! Good one, Eggies. Grandpa really phoned it in here. I wasn't planning on it, but I'll still try to be extra mindful. Vandalism and defacing property are fine if it adds humorous value. ...Okay, thanks for that, Google Maps. Once again, thanks, Google. If I were a thief, this would convince me! Hey, I'm still glad you made it home safely! From now on, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is what I will be writing when I don't know the answer to something. I don't think the teacher intended for their "pushing" to feel like this. "Sorry for the thing, first of all," is going to enter my vernacular now. Considering I still wake up with night sweats thinking of this terrible sound from my fourth-grade music class, I'd take one. How wholesome! SOYLENT GREEN!!! Phew. I'm sure glad I didn't bring my nuclear missiles here. SECURITY!!! GET HIM!!!! I hate that I laughed at this. I'm turning into such a Dad. Relatable. This is also my face when people tell me to smile. Good to know! I see what you did there. And there. Hey, how'd they know about my drawer??? He's not wrong. I think Mike misunderstood the he understood it way better than the prior two writers did, depending on how you look at it. Might as well call them "poors" at this point. This is a nice sentiment, I guess? I guess we'll go ahead and trespass, then! I see what you did there, Wal-Mart. This is a solid use of money. As was this. I might have to do this with my ex's number. I feel like they should've spent a *little* more time thinking about the design of this anti-drunk driving pencil, but maybe that's just me. Hm. I didn't realize Dr. Pepper was a form of payment. See #22. that's okay, I'm not that hungry. Now the crack looks intentional! Way to call Andy out. Leave them alone! They're preparing for Jurassic World Rebirth! Well, that's unlucky. Damn, imagine being burned by Google Photos. Super important to blur those wheels! I didn't think my pancreas hated me until now!!! Bags have feelings, too! I'm glad we cleared that up. Oh...I guess I don't want a popsicle after all. Or this corn. That's certainly one solution to macbooks removing their HDMI port... The perfect size for the giant up the beanstalk! ...OK? That's one way to advertise! Wow, it's amazing what nine years of study can do. And one, Netflix. H/T: r/Funny
