Chief of Staff Success Series: Creating Leverage in the First 90 Days

​The first 90 days define how a chief of staff shows up, builds trust, and establishes leverage within the organization. In this session, Vannin and the Chief of Staff Association will walk through a practical 30–60–90 framework designed to help chiefs of staff quickly understand business priorities, align with leadership, and focus on the highest-impact areas. We will cover how to assess the needs of the business, prioritize effectively, and begin building the systems and relationships required to operate at a strategic level. The session will also highlight key Vannin frameworks and resources, along with guidance on how chiefs of staff can begin building their own toolkit to support long-term success.
