To succeed as a Chief of Staff in Sweden, a unique combination of operational experience and strategic maturity is required. Operational experience means working closely with the business, leading projects, and managing daily challenges. Strategic maturity involves being able to see the big picture, analyze complex relationships, and contribute to long-term development. CoS must be able to switch between driving concrete initiatives and supporting management in overall decisions. This balance is particularly important in Swedish organizations with flat hierarchies, where CoS often serves as a bridge between strategy and operational activities. The ability to combine these perspectives is crucial for building trust and driving change.
