Considering fractional leadership for your organization? Alan Kittle, a seasoned creative director turned fractional expert, provides valuable insights on determining whether working with a fractional expert can help your organization. According to him, the decision revolves around two key factors: Scale and Skillset.
Scale:
Evaluate your organization's life stage. Are you scaling up, venturing into new spaces, or eyeing global expansion? If you find you don't need a full-time resource for these endeavours, fractional leadership may be the strategic solution.
Skillset:
Beyond scaling, consider the skillset required. By freeing up resources, organizations can use them differently and bring in a fractional resource with specialized skills and experience. Alan emphasizes the importance of having someone who understands the nuances due to years of skill building.
Fractional leadership is not merely about working like a freelancer; it offers a more permanent solution with defined parameters. This approach allows the fractional expert to act as an extension of the team, bringing a wealth of experience without the need for a full-time commitment.
Considering fractional leadership? Think Scale. Think Skillset. Unlock the transformative potential for your organization.
Growth in the workplace: shift from maintenance to ascent.
In the dynamic workplace, it's crucial to recognize when it's time to transition from maintenance to growth. If you're not in growth mode, defining "maintenance mode" is your safeguard against the downfall.
Maintenance mode doesn’t mean there is a standstill; it often is a strategic pit stop. It’s about preserving what works, but it’s also important to discern when it’s time to shift gears again. This thought process applies to both personal and business growth. Growth is the essence of progress, and you can challenge your team to identify areas for enhancement and innovation, transforming maintenance into a launchpad for success.
Define maintenance mode, strategically evolve, and propel your team toward sustained growth.

If success were a secret sauce, everyone would get themselves a taste of it. At FRAKXION, we believe that success is a combination of factors.
One of them is a game-changer. Have you ever thought about doing a 7-day routine? It might sound boring at first, but even the most successful people swear by the importance of discipline to maintain a balance between your personal life and career.
At FRAKXION, we are always experimenting with new ways of thought and how it can make us progress as individuals. Here’s what we think having a 7-day routine can do for your life.
- Consistency is key: A 7-day routine will install consistency, and that is the foundation for success. Experts know that small, intentional actions every day lead to significant long-term results.
- Maximize Productivity: A well-structured day can help you manage time better. This will involve setting clear priorities and incorporating strategic breaks to optimize performance. This break could be anything from a jog to time spent with your pet. Your break, your call!
- Mindful Growth: A routine will shape your mindset. You might not notice any changes at first, but if you stick to it, you will see a difference. Be it a work goal or a personal goal, bring routine into the mix and you have yourself a resilient mindset.
Do you have a particular routine that helps you stay on track? Share with us in the comments below!
Stay tuned to this space for more insights on how you as an individual or team member can continue to add value to your personal and professional life.
We created the Refraction Pathway to promote morale and performance in the workplace. This methodology identifies chances for innovation and continuous improvement at work by focusing on problem areas.
This pathway consists of a core, five key zones, and five elements per zone. Today, we dive deep into the Contribution Zone and its elements.
1. Strengths: This Zone leverages individual strengths to amplify team performance. Recognizing strengths fosters collaboration and excellence.
2. Self-Reliance: Empowering individuals to take initiative and giving them a sense of personal responsibility enhances productivity and innovation.
3. Equity: Ensures fairness in opportunities and treatment. Such a workplace fosters a culture of trust and loyalty.
4. Inclusion: Diverse perspectives fuel creativity and innovation, driving organizational success.
5. Alignment: Align individual and team goals with organizational objectives. This improves overall efficiency and effectiveness.
The Contribution Zone is more than a strategy, it is a key part of what drives workplace success. Learn more at frakxion.com/mindset/create-the-right-conditions
Often times, other disciplines and concepts have learnings hidden in them that one can adapt to a professional and personal setting. There is so much to derive from the discipline of Sport, Spirituality and so much more.
One such concept is the Shu-Ha-Ri approach, which offers a transformative journey through three distinct phases. It is derived from Japanese martial arts and offers a profound teaching.
The first stage of ‘Shu’ is related to observation and imitation. Here, you absorb the knowledge and skills from mentors or established practitioners. This stage demands you to cultivate patience and have an open mind. This is where a strong foundation is built.
The second stage, ‘Ha’, tells you to explore beyond boundaries. This is the phase that calls on creativity, experimentation, and begins to challenge existing approaches, creating an opportunity to innovate.
The last stage, ‘Ri’, is one where you internalize the technique to such an extent that it becomes an intrinsic part of you. You learn to execute techniques without giving conscious thought, and it becomes second nature. Here is where you rise and evolve and push boundaries.
When you bring these three stages as a team, you experience transformative change together.
At FRAKXION, we believe that working as a team leads to sharing valuable knowledge and creating a legacy of change-makers. Subscribe to our newsletter and find more ways to keep your team engaged and motivated.
