The Founder & The Force Multiplier
When the CEO looks to hire their Chief of Staff, they have to ask themselves a crucial question: Who is it exactly that you need?
Once the CEO makes that decision to hire, they commit to giving up control—which is a hurdle in itself—and giving it to the new Chief of Staff. The relationship that forms as a result between a CEO and a Chief of Staff is unique, yet crucial to achieving success.
This was a lesson that Adam Hergenrother learned when he hired his Chief of Staff: Hallie Warner. Together, they wrote the book on establishing, maintaining, and enhancing the relationship between the CEO and Chief of Staff.
Get ready to learn about how the CEO and Chief of Staff can truly engage in fierce, strategic conversations, challenge each other’s thinking, and stay true to the vision of the company.
