Chiefs of Staff Reveal Life with World's Most Powerful
Political chiefs of staff worldwide have shared insights into their experiences at the center of major political decisions.
They are often the second-most powerful individuals in the room, yet remain largely unknown to voters. Chiefs of staff tend to avoid media attention, considering it a bad day if they are in the news.
"The (chief of staff) role has this professional intimacy, it's such a unique role and the biggest takeaway was that at the end of the day it does come back to friendship,"
Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks, author of The Right Hand, gathered accounts from eight chiefs of staff, offering a glimpse into supporting and challenging the world's most powerful leaders.
Saintilan-Stocks noted that trust, loyalty, and friendship are crucial aspects of the chief of staff role, with all participants having different views on the importance of being friends with their boss.
