Research: How has the Chief of Staff role actually changed in the last year?
I'm working on a research report - State of Executive Workflows 2026 - and I'd really value perspectives from people actually doing this job.
Quick on the why: there's a lot of LinkedIn-flavored content about how AI is "transforming" the role, but most of it sounds like marketing copy.
I want to understand what's actually changed in daily work, what tools matter, and what hasn't moved at all, including the parts no tool touches (judgment calls, soft follow-ups, the context you carry that nobody documents).
What it is:
- 25-minute conversation
- You'll see the findings before they go public
- You can be named in the report or stay anonymous, your call
- Once the report is done, I'll share a summary back with this sub
Looking for 12 Chiefs of Staff who work closely with senior leaders.
DM me or comment here if you're open to it.
Disclosure: I'm building a product in this space (AI tool for executive teams) but this research isn't a sales pitch, I want the honest picture, including what tools don't help.
Happy to answer any questions about that upfront.
