The Modern Chief of Staff (The Increasingly Essential Role for All Organizations)  

Thank you - I greatly appreciate your comment!

I appreciate it - Thank you!

You are welcome--It is an opportunity when you become a CoS to help guide to organization to discover and implement methodologies they are not using. CoS are roles to be proactive as well -- most CoS I have meet don't expand the role and there is much value lost at many orgs. I hope you get a CoS shortly - let me know! (not sure why RU-vid strike through my comment--I hope it is still readable).

Thanks James

Hey did you get the role? I would love to speak to someone who has interviewed for this type of role

I don't have it posted anywhere. My contact info is here: ru-vid.comabout

The average is $289,975 - here is the video - where I talk about this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uu0L75zG1hU.htmlsi=dUaIE7kR6HYFKdDI

Some orgs view EA and COS as interchangeable but in terms of points of difference. I was talking with a C-Level exec at a SaaS org who didn’t think they were terribly different but in practice they are two separate FTEs. There are considerable handoffs from the leader and leadership team that truly take extensive time and effort such as I talk about the 10 functional pillars. In addition to handoffs are a set of expertise areas that can depend on the role, the leader, the LT, industry and org. I am seeing more specialist requests like specific degrees or even specific skills like coding. It doesn’t mean an EA/Business Partner cannot become a COS-I do believe they are two separate roles and do work with each other in practice hence the duties are distinct and different.

I'm not sure it is--while some job descriptions might say "investment banking background" experience is needed; even for a startup the COS is not going to be talking with potential investors---that is the role of CFO. I see too many over fitting requirements for COS roles and what I have noted those people often leave the organization quite early on. Ultimately, a need for an MD, JD, management consulting or Investment banking is un-necessary for this role type.

No not at all.

Yes. EAs with experience in enterprise orgs and multinationals often transition to CoS.
