Fundamentally, a Chief of Staff creates value for companies by increasing managerial bandwidth across the company’s VPs, directors, and C-level. This is accomplished by anticipating and meeting organizational needs before they impede progress, and driving the achievement of company goals through excellence in communication. The ability to connect and manage personnel from all walks of life, personalities, and disciplines is a must, as well as the ability to absorb, retain, and leverage information quickly and appropriately. The Chief of Staff position is not for the faint of heart, requiring strength across a wide range of business disciplines including operations, finance, risk, and logistics, as well as an uncanny talent for intuitively sound decision making - especially in chaotic situations.
