Feeling stuck in the daily grind of running your business?
If you're unsure whether you need an Executive Assistant, a Chief of Staff, or both—this quick guide breaks down the key differences and shows you how the right support can help you get out of survival mode and into strategic growth. Designed for busy CEOs (and the EAs who support them), this guide helps you make a confident next move.
With Biblical Principles for Strategic Support
If you’ve ever wished you had someone to help you run your business and your life—someone who sees the big picture, handles the details, and helps you stay focused on what really matters—you’re not alone. You’re looking for a Chief of Staff.
And if you're not ready (or don't need) a full-time hire, there's good news: the Fractional Chief of Staff model is growing—and it’s especially powerful for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and yes, even parents.
What’s more? The wisdom behind this role isn’t new. It echoes timeless biblical principles about order, stewardship, and intention.
What Does a Chief of Staff Actually Do?
In the corporate world, a Chief of Staff (CoS) is the right hand to the CEO. A Fractional Chief of Staff brings the same clarity and execution—without requiring a full-time hire. They help you move from overwhelmed to organized, scattered to strategic.
Let’s explore how the key functions of a CoS align with Scripture:
Why Parents Need This Too
If you’re leading a business and raising a family, you’re essentially running two high-stakes organizations at once. And just like in business, the cost of misalignment or burnout at home is high.
A Fractional CoS isn’t just for the boardroom. It’s a gift to anyone managing many responsibilities and needing strategic support.
Imagine having someone to:
- Streamline your calendar so you don’t miss ballet and board meetings.
- Build systems to make daily life smoother (without micromanaging every detail).
- Protect your time so you can be present where it matters most.
That’s the kind of support that helps you thrive in your calling—not just survive your responsibilities.
Final Word: Strategy Rooted in Stewardship
Hiring a Fractional Chief of Staff isn’t about control—it’s about stewardship. It's about honoring the time, talents, and teams God has entrusted to you by ensuring your days are guided by order and intention, not just urgency.
“Commit your work to the Lord…”
“…Make the best use of the time…”
“…Do all things decently and in order…”
There’s holiness in strategy. There’s peace in preparation. And there's incredible power in having someone come alongside you to help carry the load.
