Now get the title, the system, and the seat at the table. Stop waiting to be promoted—architect your own path from executive assistant to Chief of Staff.
But no one's given you the title—or the framework—to match the responsibility.
When the CEO thinks out loud, you're the one who turns it into an action plan. You connect dots no one else sees.
Fires get routed to you before anyone else. You've become the de facto crisis manager without the authority.
Board dynamics, leadership tensions, strategic pivots—you're trusted with information that never leaves the room.
There's no job description for what you actually do. You've been figuring it out alone, one crisis at a time.
You make things happen through relationships and trust, not org chart power. It's exhausting—and invisible.
Chief of Staff. You know you could do it. You just need the framework to pitch it—and the system to execute it.
Stop waiting for permission. Here's how you architect your own promotion.
