When most of us hear “Chief of Staff,” we think of the president’s chief of staff. We think of that role as a government (or public sector) role. That might have been true in the olden days, but the chief of staff has been growing in the private sector, especially in tech companies.
As I am writing this, I searched job listings on Linkedin and found 626 openings for chiefs of staff.
I don’t know about you, but it’s blowing my mind.
It looks like a perfect role for rebel intrapreneurs who want to make an outsized contribution to an organization. I think to myself, “Where has this role been my whole life?”
I had to learn more.
Then I discovered Emily Sander. She has been a chief of staff. She coaches chiefs of staff. And she wrote the book on chiefs of staff.
After reading Emily’s book and talking to her, I am coming to believe that the chief of staff role is made for Rebel Intrapreneurs like us.
After you listen to this conversation, I wonder if you agree.
