Chief of Staff Service

Service Description

Most of the time, CEOs have a strategic agenda that they want to implement – be it corporate expansion, growth acceleration, or profitability turnaround. However, it's not easy to implement this strategic agenda. Imagine you are standing at the helm of a ship (the organization), navigating through a turbulent sea (market disruptions) under an intense storm (shareholder expectations) – while being shackled by organizational resistance, tightening budgets, and resource constraints. Moreover, the fog of ambiguity shrouds the path, making it difficult to discern the optimal direction. How can you successfully bring the ship to the destination? In such a tempest, a first mate (a trusted advisor) with deep experience can be the lighthouse cutting through the darkness, providing clarity and strategic guidance. Their role is to help you, the CEO, navigate these treacherous waters, offering a steady hand and insightful counsel to weather the storm, break free from the shackles, and reach the shores of success. This is why successful CEOs usually have a personal advisor that is competent, capable, and committed (3C) to help them implement their strategic agenda. For example: • Napoleon had Berthier, his most indispensable marshal, who translated the Emperor's strategic vision into reality via meticulous execution. • Genghis had Subotai, his most adept general, who implemented the Khan's brilliant strategy and delivered his strategic goals. • Alexander had Hephaestion, his most loyal and skilled companion, whose organizational skills helped the Great King win military campaigns and establish new settlements. • Churchill had Lindemann, his most trusted advisor, who worked hard to make the Prime Minister's wishes come true. • Roosevelt had Hopkins, his most capable deputy, who oversaw crucial strategic programs that helped the President overcome the Great Depression, World War II, and the post-war challenges. In a similar capacity, I help CEOs (as their personal advisor) to realize their strategic agenda – while overcoming the sea of disruptions, a storm of expectations, the fog of ambiguity, and the shackles of organization resistance, tight budgets, and resource constraints. I typically generate a multi-million-dollar impact. Given my reasonable daily rate (not cheap, but very reasonable), this means I generate a ten-fold return (+1,000%) at the very least.
