<aside> 💡 This template was inspired by a 30-60-90 day plan written by my good friend Paul Meister, the Chief of Staff at Origin. Paul created a 30-60-90 day document to share with the CEO and reach alignment on what was most important while onboarding.

His inspiration for this doc came from the various Chief of Staff materials (available here and here) from the Curriculum.

Paul has graciously allowed me to turn this into a template for you to duplicate, edit, and use for yourself. Enjoy!

Executive Summary

<aside> <img src="/icons/arrow-right_purple.svg" alt="/icons/arrow-right_purple.svg" width="40px" /> The primary goal of my role as Chief of Staff is to ensure that your actions get done. I will run the repetitive steps required in creating a sound management system for you.

The ultimate goal is to help you run your company from behind the scenes and make you feel like a superhuman.

Training

In order for me to do my job best, it's imperative that I learn to make decisions like you and think like you. Therefore, to make this happen as quickly and effectively as possible, I need the co-pilot seat: this means I:

• have delegated access to your inbox,
• sit in on most if not all of your meetings, and
• have working sessions with you.

All of the above will help me take tasks off your plate to free up your already-limited time.

By seeing what decisions you make, based on what information you receive, I will soon be able to think like you, and then, and only then, can I truly be an extension of you (and magic will happen).

After several weeks of observing, I can start doing tasks for you.
