Henning Schwinum Launches “Right-Sized, Right-Skilled™,” A Definitive Guide to the Rise of Fractional Leadership
A new book bridging executives and business leaders in the evolving world of flexible executive talent
San Luis Obispo, CA – February 24, 2026 - Fractional leadership pioneer and Vendux Co-Founder Henning Schwinum today announced the release of his new book, Right-Sized, Right-Skilled™: The Art and Science of Matching Fractional Executives with Organizations So That Both Thrive. The book is now available through www.rightsized-rightskilled.com and soon leading online retailers.
As organizations rethink traditional leadership structures, Right-Sized, Right-Skilled™ introduces a practical framework for navigating the rapidly growing fractional executive model. Drawing on years of real-world experience matching executives with small and mid-sized businesses, Schwinum provides a dual-perspective playbook designed for both executives building fractional careers and CEOs seeking strategic leadership without full-time overhead.
The book demystifies what fractional leadership truly is — and what it is not — while offering actionable guidance on positioning, pricing, onboarding, and creating successful engagements that deliver measurable outcomes. It emphasizes a central idea: aligning the right size of leadership with the right skill set at the right moment in a company’s growth journey.
“Fractional leadership is reshaping how organizations grow,” said Schwinum. “This book connects the two sides of the equation — the executive and the business — and provides a structured path to making the model work in practice.”
Unlike many leadership books focused on theory, Right-Sized, Right-Skilled™ combines strategic insight with hands-on frameworks. Readers will learn how to identify the “window of opportunity” for fractional talent, integrate leaders quickly into an organization, and build accountability systems that turn temporary engagements into long-term impact.
Key themes explored in the book include:
How the fractional executive model is transforming modern leadership structures
The transition from employee to solopreneur for senior executives
Practical guidance for founders and CEOs integrating fractional talent
The matchmaking principles behind successful executive engagements
The future of the blended workforce and flexible leadership models
Right-Sized, Right-Skilled™ arrives at a time when only a fraction of small and medium-sized businesses have adopted fractional leadership, leaving significant room for growth as organizations seek specialized expertise without traditional hiring constraints.
