TThe CEO never has enough time in a busy startup, so apart from cloning yourself, what can you do? The less sticky answer is to get a fractional Chief of Staff. A trusted advisor who can help with everything from investor communications and strategic planning to running special projects and communicating across various business units. They are your right hand (wo)man, a source of extra bandwidth, a trusted sounding board. An extra member of the senior leadership team. Not ready, or cant afford for a full time one, hire a fractional one. You can benefit from Tom’s 20+ years of experience and Harvard Business School education without having to commit to a full time role.
