I'm Cameron Herald, the founder of the Second Command Podcast.

Really quick, before we jump into today's episode,

you need to know about two important ways that we can help you and your company grow.

Number one, check out the COO Alliance.

It's for COOs, Presidents, BP Ops, or whoever is your company's second in command to the CEO.

The COO Alliance is the world's leading community for the second in command and it gives

COOs the tools and connections to grow themselves and the company.

Head over to C.O.Aliance.com to learn more about our members and

the results, the program, and our 10X guarantee.

If you qualify for membership, you can set up a complimentary call with our team to discuss if it's

right for you.

I'll tell you about number two in a bit, but first, let's start this week's episode. The chief of

staff's role is more narrow in service of the CEO his or her biggest priorities and

the mission and all things that ladder up to that.

In my opinion, the C.O. has got a broader range of responsibilities that are rooted in, you know,

operational strategies and effectiveness and efficiencies in the company.

They're usually managing various department deliverables.

So I think that the scope is wider for a COO. Welcome to the Second in Command Podcast, produced by the

C.O. Alliance and brought to you by its founder, Cameron Herald. In the

second in command podcast, we talked to top COOs who share the insights, strategies and tactics that made them the chief behind the chief.

And now here's your host, Cameron Harold.

All right, we have a very interesting episode today. We've got Lori Arran, who is the author of Who Has Your Back speaking with us today on the role of the chief of staff.
