First 100 Days: Chief of Staff’s Plan of Action

On this episode of the podcast we develop a framework and a plan for the First 100 Days on the job as a Chief of Staff. The framework we present is adaptable and iterative in nature, yet has a strong foundational core. The goal of any such “100 Day Plan” is to build credibility, confidence, motivation and momentum. We want to approach the First 100 Days with confidence and action. We first touch on the accomplishments of FDR’s first 100 days in office. We then outline a balanced plan that consists of immersion / learning and action / results. Finally, we integrate behaviors into the plan that build trust, psychological safety and inspiration / motivation in the organization. Our goal is to hit the ground running and make an impact in the first 100 days.
