The COO role is one of the most powerful, misunderstood, and shape-shifting seats in the C-suite.

In this episode, Tegan and Maggie unpack why the role looks so different from company to company, how it flexes around the CEO, and what makes a great COO far more than an "operator." They dig into COO archetypes, the emotional and strategic labor of the role, and the common mistakes CEOs make when they don't fully understand how to partner with their COO.
