Chief of Staff Hiring Mistakes

Avoid these mistakes when you’re hiring a Chief of Staff:

→ Create a generic Job Description

→ Post only on LinkedIn company page

→ Assign the CEO to lead the hiring process

→ Interview a ton of candidates

→ Set comp low to see what talent might bite

Another massive mistake so many CEOs/founders make when hiring a Chief of Staff: They don't take the time to define their Zone of Genius.

Once you've figured out your superpowers, it becomes clear what tasks you shouldn't be wasting your time and energy on. 9 out of 10 of these can be delegated to the Chief of Staff.

So the person that you hire better be good at operating outside of your Zone of Genius. Don't just hire some smart person that went to an Ivy League and worked in consulting.
