Re: New Chief of Staff at the club - takes over the position vacated by Marc Boixasa
If you follow these things closely, and I am aware that some do much more closely than I, the turnover feels quite high and there is very little comment on almost any arrival or departure, I could make a reference to the wall of silence on a number of things at the club, and there are many, but in ...

Re: New Chief of Staff at the club - takes over the position vacated by Marc Boixasa
I might be ignorant but what exactly is a Chief of Staff? That’s a good question and in lots of places I have worked the role of a CoS has been very different. So on my relatively narrow experience I’d say there’s no one definition of the role. I think traditionally they are a fixer, problem solver...
