The Chief of Staff

The Chief of Staff is the professional journal of The Chief of Staff Association. It aims to share knowledge, skills, and ideas about one of the world’s most important but understudied professions ‒ one which, almost by definition, operates discreetly and ‘under the radar’.
In doing so, we equip chiefs of staff with the tools necessary to expand their knowledge and increase their effectiveness. The journal addresses practical, theoretical, and historical aspects of the profession, guiding the analysis of historical decisions and inspiring future leaders. As such, we are interested in submissions that present both contemporary ideas and classic insights.
We welcome contributions from Members and Fellows of The Chief of Staff Association and others who are interested in the topics that we explore. Each issue is based around a broad theme. December 2024 will focus on the relationship between principal and chief of staff, while April 2025 will feature articles relating to the topic of innovation. Please send proposals and pitches to:
