In this episode, we dive into the practical considerations of where the Chief of Staff fits into an organization. Host, Emily Sander, walks through four common examples, providing insights into different placement scenarios. The first example explores the Chief of Staff as part of the C-suite executive team, a structure often seen in various organizations. The second example addresses large companies with multiple Chiefs of Staff supporting different executives and functions. The third scenario discusses instances where a Chief of Staff is brought in at a VP level, with potential reasons and benefits. The final example explores the possibility of a Chief of Staff holding a dual role, combining responsibilities like business development or product management. The episode wraps up with practical takeaways for evaluating the current and future placement of a Chief of Staff within an organization.
