The Chief Of Staff

ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING

The Chief-of-Staff

The CoS PlayBook covers the basics of ‘what the role is’, and includes my standard advice on how to scope, hire and deliver role.

But if you are a senior CoS (i.e. level 4 or X) and want to level-up further the CoS Level-up program is for you.  Selected topics include:

• Implied Power - how to influence senior executives without direct authority

• Winston Wolfe - how to handle tricky situations that your boss doesn’t want to

• Out of the Shadows - how to build your personal brand and career path

• Show Me The Money - how to hold senior execs members accountable to deliver

• And other ‘Dark Arts’

If you are a junior or mid-level CoS, don’t worry I am working on a partnership program to support you in a more scaled group way.  If that sounds interesting to you drop me a line to find out more and potentially to join the first cohort.
