The full field guide to the 25 systems every Chief of Staff runs.
The free summary gave you the menu: 25 systems, one paragraph each. This edition is the working manual. Every system gets the same five things, in the same order, so you can move fast:
- When to use it, and the signal that tells you to reach for it
- How to run it, step by step, with the judgment calls named
- A worked example, so you see the system in motion
- The failure modes, which are usually about people, not mechanics
- A ready-to-copy template you can paste into a doc and use the same day
Covers the five areas an operator owns: meetings and rhythms (operating cadence, decision-oriented agendas, narrative memos, structured 1:1s, retrospectives), planning and goals (OKRs, EOS, QBRs, V2MOM, the planning cascade), prioritization and decisions (RACI, DACI, RAPID, disagree and commit, weighted scoring), communication (BLUF, SBAR, traffic-light status, stakeholder maps, the executive one-pager), and documents and knowledge (the decision log, the single source of truth, personal task systems, Kanban).
Closes with a first-90-days install sequence: which three systems to start with and why restraint is the discipline that makes the role work.
Format: designed PDF, instant download. 30-day money-back guarantee: if it isn’t useful, email us within 30 days for a full refund, no justification required.
