0/ The Chief of Staff role has reached a tipping point, from startups to trillion-dollar companies. I've talked to ~100 CEOs, from @NotionHQ, @Patreon, @blendlabsinc, @benchling and more, all asking same q:
How should I hire a chief of staff?
Here's what I tell them 🧵
High EQ + Persuasion. People who have a clear-headed view of a situation, and the soft skills/influence chops to bend the environment to their will, are especially valuable. It’s an underrated skill.
