OUTPUT

Personalised in-depth report

Most people who are ready for the Chief of Staff role do not know it yet.

Most people who are not quite there do not know that either.

Most EAs and PAs who are drawn to the Chief of Staff role already have many of the capabilities it requires. Stakeholder management, executive communication, strategic thinking, operating across an organisation: these are things great EAs and PAs already do. What is less clear is the specific gap between where they are and what organisations actually need when they hire for this role.

The Chief of Staff Readiness Assessment is a new eavolve® service and the clearest starting point for anyone navigating the EA to Chief of Staff transition. You complete a structured assessment designed to evaluate your readiness for the role. An experienced Chief of Staff subject matter expert then reviews your responses and produces a personalised, in-depth report. It is not a test you pass or fail. It is an honest, expert analysis of where you are and what comes next.

You stop guessing and start moving.

✓You stop second-guessing your readiness and start developing with purpose and direction
