What Sets the Chief of Staff Apart: Traits That Make the Role Unique

In this episode of Leveraging Leadership, host Emily Sander, a former Chief of Staff turned executive leadership coach, talks about what makes the Chief of Staff role unique.

 
 

No one else at the company is doing what the Chief of Staff does. She emphasizes there is no one-size-fit-all approach to becoming a Chief of Staff - highlighting a diverse set of experiences can be an advantage.

The role stands out by not being tied to a specific business function, but by providing a broader, strategic function. She describes the Chief of Staff positions as an intangible, behind-the-scenes “X-factors” that requires qualities like proactivity, empathy, and problem-solving.
