In this monologue, Amanda Northcutt reflects on the rapid rise in visibility and understanding of the Chief of Staff (CoS) role over the past five to seven years. She recounts her personal experience as a CoS in 2020, when the title was virtually unknown, and contrasts it with today’s broader recognition, albeit still with lingering ambiguities. Northcutt explains the dual purpose behind founding "Ask a Chief of Staff": to create a business serving the growing CoS community while simultaneously educating the market about the role’s responsibilities and value. She highlights how speaking engagements and a recent Fast Company article are leveraged to disseminate knowledge, helping CEOs and other leaders make more informed hiring decisions regarding Chief of Staff positions.
