Interesting isn’t it that U.S. Presidents have a Chief of Staff (COS)? If you are like most people we take the title for granted and really do not think about what they do. Is it really a necessary position? The short answer is…Yes!

Then why don’t businesses have a Chief of Staff? Well, in fact,, some do. But many of not most do not. Probably because they fully do not understand what the Chief of Staff role really is.

For other people they think if they are the CEO, the Owner, the founder, or have the letter “C” in their title that they are the Chief of Staff. And in some cases they may take on some of the roles and responsibilities, but in reality the Chief of Staff takes the pressure off the CEO.

So what is the Chief of Staff really? In this episode of A New Direction former Chief of Staff, Executive Coach, and Best Selling Author Emily Sander joins us to help us understand what is the Chief of Staff, and what it takes to become one.

Emily Sander‘s book “An Insider’s Perspective on the Chief of Staff: Why You Need One and How to Be a Great One” may be a short read, but every page is filled with everything you need to know about why you need to have a chief of staff and how to be great at it.

With Emily Sander’s experience as a former chief of staff she walks us through why this role unlike any other c-suite position can make any business more efficient and ultimately more profitable.

As she helps us understand what a chief of staff can do for a business and the CEO she helps us understand the many roles that they take on and how they must conduct themselves in order to be successful in the role.

The chief of staff role requires that she or he be able to communicate effectively at the highest and lowest levels.  They have to be able to neutral, but at the same time be effective.

Chief of Staff is a phenomenal and insightful book for both the CEO and for those considering if the chief of staff role is right for them.
