Some things need to get done inside the executive office. Some things need to get out of it.

Executive Office Partners does both. Fractional Chief of Staff work for leadership teams who need senior execution without adding a full-time executive, and research that turns what your company knows into something your market will actually read.

Two practices, one skill

I spent years as Chief of Staff to CEOs, which mostly meant sitting in the room where the real conversations happen. Not the board deck version. The actual version.

Two things became obvious from that seat, and Executive Office Partners exists because of both.

The first is that most leadership teams don't have an ideas problem. They have a follow-through problem, and it isn't for lack of talent. It's that nobody owns the space between the decision and the doing.

The second is that the smartest thing said at most companies all quarter gets said on a Tuesday, to eleven people, and then dies in that room.

One of those is a fractional Chief of Staff engagement. The other is Executive Intelligence. Same skill, pointed two directions.

Fractional Chief of Staff

An embedded strategic partner for CEOs and leadership teams. Structure for growth, cross-functional initiatives that actually move, accountability that holds, and leadership priorities turned into work that gets finished.

We publish our own research

I'm currently surveying senior leaders on how much of what a leadership team commits to actually gets done, and what kills the rest. Eight questions, about four minutes. Every participant receives the findings by email before they're published anywhere.

Start with a conversation

Most of this begins with ninety minutes and an honest look at what's actually stuck, or at what your company knows that its market hasn't heard.
