Hi everybody,
My Chief of Staff Robyn doubles my productivity, has mission-critical responsibilities, and operates with my complete trust. She’s basically my boss.
But I see so many people misunderstand the role, or confuse “Chief of Staff” for “Executive Assistant”.
If you’re a business leader, don’t make the same mistake. You’re missing a huge opportunity.
That’s why I’m hosting my Chief of Staff Robyn Smith for a live session this Thursday:
We’ll cover:
A job description that actually attracts A-players
What kinds of projects & processes have the biggest leverage
A first-90-days onboarding checklist
My method for building trust fast
Done right, this role is a force multiplier.
Plus, it’s win-win. You get an all-star on your team, and a young person gets a high-growth career opportunity that sets them up for a senior role down the road.
Join Robyn & me this Thursday, Sep 18th, at noon CT / 1PM ET.
See you there,
Michael
P.S. If you can’t make it, RSVP anyway and I’ll send you the recording.
