The Chief of Staff Title Was Long Overdue

I think that the chief of staff role is more of a— the title itself, let's call it, is more of a symptom of trying to name these people. Like, these people have always existed. They've always done some variation of this job. And I can't tell you how many chiefs of staff I've spoken to who they say, oh, well, I mean, I just took the chief of staff title because it finally felt like it described what I was doing for my company. I was always in like operations or like first business hire or strategy, kind of as a— Yeah. Like an overarching bucket, but it didn't really truly encapsulate all of the different things that they were doing. And then especially when you add on this principal aspect of it, you know, you're really supporting this one person at the top of the company. Chief of staff became a better moniker for this type of person as opposed to, you know, a lot of the kind of different creative titles that I'm sure many of us have taken on in in our roles. So. While I would say, yes, the chief of staff role has existed in politics, in government, in military, right, for a very, very long time, there are definitely differences in the role when it has now ported over to the corporate world.
