- whymauri 6y agoHow is "Chief of Staff" a BS title?
- pc86 6y agoI always viewed it as people wanted their secretary to have more cachet akin to the WH COS. The go-to behind-the-scenes, "assistant POTUS" type roll. Realistically though, that type of job exists in politics but it simply doesn't exist in business. The WH COS-type duties should be handled by a COO, Managing Director, EVP, etc. Any time I've seen COS used in a Silicon Valley context it's a glorified secretary/scheduler.
