Family businesses evolving into their first C-suite role face a big shift. Jumping straight to a permanent hire isn’t always the best move. A fractional executive can step in, prove the value, and set the stage for long-term success. In a recent article I wrote with Greg Simsa and Tim Emmitt, we explore when fractional, interim, or consulting solutions might be the right call instead of a permanent hire. Plus, we share a practical decision tool to help navigate the process. Link to the full article in comments. #FamilyBusiness #Leadership #FractionalExecutives #SuccessionPlanning

Fractional, Interim, or Full-Time? How do you know which is the right leadership hire? Hiring the right executive talent is one of the most critical decisions a business can make. But in today’s fast-paced business environment, one size does not fit all when it comes to leadership roles. That’s why Tim Emmitt and Greg Simsa of Bridge Leadership Solutions recently sat down with Bill Stranberg, Managing Partner at Stranberg, a Family-Owned Executive Search and Talent Advisory Firm, to discuss the key factors in determining when to hire an interim, fractional, or full-time executive. The result? A practical matrix designed to help businesses make smarter, more strategic leadership decisions. Whether you need immediate expertise, long-term strategic leadership, or a flexible, cost-effective solution, this discussion breaks down the scenarios that warrant each type of hire, and how to align your choice with your company’s goals.

??Fractional leadership can pave the way for successful permanent hires. In this week's video with Tim Emmitt and Greg Simsa from Bridge Leadership Solutions LLC we share a real-world example of how a fractional CFO helped a family business discover: ?? Where they were actually making (or losing) money ?? Which metrics truly mattered for their growth ?? How to restructure their finance organization ?? Ways to create value while minimizing risk As one client put it: "It was a sausage grinder - inputs went in, profit came out, but we had no idea where the money was actually made." The beauty of the fractional-to-permanent approach? It demonstrates what's possible, creates a firm platform for the permanent hire, and de-risks a major transition for family businesses with no precedent for the role.
