Strategy and Leadership as Service

Strategy and Leadership as Service isn't just a nice idea; it is a practical, alternative vision of the future of work for senior executives that is starting to gain significant interest and is being adopted by businesses globally. Disrupting and challenging the traditional full-time employment model, the Strategy and Leadership as Service framework provides businesses with access to the complete range of functional, emotional, and collective intelligence at the C-Suite level by moving their positions from the "pay-roll" to an "access-role." Many entrepreneurial and growing businesses don't need, don't want, and can't afford full-time C-suite executives. For larger organisations, it is becoming harder to find the skills and knowledge required to fulfil all the obligations of a functional C-suite with a fixed group of individuals. By moving to the Strategy and Leadership as Service framework, the outcomes are better for all stakeholders: more engagement, access to the right skillsets and mindsets at the right time and in the right quantity to match the changing business agenda, more flexibility for senior leaders, and strengthened risk management. Through presenting a working business model, and real-world case studies throughout, this book provides executives and leaders with a complete understanding of this ground-breaking approach and its key benefits, the theory upon which it is based, its essential ingredients, the mindset change required and, most importantly, how to apply it in practice. The book provides business leaders, C-suite portfolio executives, human resource professionals, strategy consultants, leadership coaches, organisational development consultants, recruiters, professional service firms, academics, and forward-thinking business students with a radical new view of how the access economy can be applied to business strategy and leadership for more sustainable futures.

Executive Freedom: How to Escape the C-Suite, Create Income Security, and Take Back Control by Building a Part-Time Portfolio Career

Sometimes the thing we fear the most is the thing that sets us free...Have you reached a point in your career where your role as a C-Suite Executive just isn’t working for you anymore?Have you sacrificed personal freedom for the comfort and perceived security of a full-time executive job?Do you long to do exciting, rewarding, and inspiring work—work that fits around your lifestyle choices—without having to sacrifice your income?We spend more than half our waking hours at work, and yet most of us choose to do work that is out of alignment with who we really are; with our core values.Every day that we show up to work giving less of ourselves than we could represents a lost opportunity to devote our talents, skills, and passion elsewhere, to a more worthy cause.The world is full of innovative, passionate people running remarkable businesses, providing extraordinary products and services that make a real difference in the world.What if there were a way for you to offer your unique ability to just a handful of these organisations to help them thrive while getting paid handsomely in return?Executive Freedom lays out a clear path to a highly engaging and rewarding portfolio lifestyle. Ironically, this approach gives you greater financial security than working for a single employer.
