Corporate and non-profit CEOs share one common element: they need a Chief of Staff. The chief of staff in any organization is the CEO’s right hand, managing a plethora of activities, information, and staff.
The chief of staff, often along with multiple Executive Assistants, creates the synergy necessary for the organization to operate effectively. No other person can communicate across various levels and throughout various departments as effectively as the chief of staff.
The person holding this position promotes the corporate culture, shares the company philosophy, and manages executive functions.
The Chief of Staff Coordinates C-Suite Functions
While your chief of staff will work directly with you, they also have other responsibilities since this role is responsible for seamless c-suite workflow.
Your chief of staff will:
- Prep materials for meetings and schedule their date, time and location.
- Develop and distribute internal and external communication, including emails, newsletters, presentations, speeches, reports, white papers, and more.
- Organize special corporate events
- Take on project management responsibilities for annual strategic planning
- Monitor and update KPIs
- Supervise the work of those who support the CEO and c-suite management
When you’re not available, your chief of staff will be. That can keep your leadership team functioning all the time, not just when you’re in the office.
Scale-up your Business Wisely
Sometimes businesses decide that scaling up means adding more. That means more initiatives, bigger goals, and an expanded staff of C-Suite leaders, like a COO.
That kind of thinking can jeopardize your corporate success and damage your career. Hiring a leader like a COO is a costly strategy that your company might not yet be ready for, especially in the early stages of corporate growth.
How do CEOs scale when adding expensive positions isn’t an option?
Savvy CEOs hire a chief of staff, and here’s why:
- Time is everything, but there’s not enough of it in the day. The chief of staff does the things you don’t have time for
- No one knows your business better. This person serves in the role of confidant, allowing you to pitch an idea or muse about possibilities effectively.
- Streamlined services save money. No one recognizes cost-saving initiatives like your chief of staff, who will likely have sound recommendations for implementing ways to save money.
- You gain another channel for communication. Keeping teams informed and up to date can be difficult. A competent chief of staff and a team of executive assistants can get the word out so you can get on with business.
Corporate and non-profit CEOs can’t afford to lose out on the one staffing position most likely to help them succeed and advance the company goals.
