Chats with Leaders

Navigating The Grey And Other Chief Of Staff Superpowers, With Dillon Taylor Chief Of Staff And Senior Counsel At Virginia Department Of Emergency

Season 2 Episode 29

I have been following the rise of the Chief of Staff role closely over the last few years.  If I was still in corporate, it would be a role I would love!

In this episode I chat with my friend Dillon Taylor who shares his awesome career story, as well as the superpowers you need to be a Chief of Staff as well as an authentic leader.

Some teasers from the episode:

  • Navigating the grey; the importance of being comfortable with discomfort as a leader
  • Making bold moves; From Firefighter to Chief of Staff leading Disaster Management
  • Overcoming “no’s” and knock-backs in your career
  • How the hardest part is just getting started
  • How you work through the fear of doing something
  • The rising role of the Chief of Staff 
  • Visibility, and putting yourself out there
  • Authentic leadership, finding your way of leading
  • The power of role-models; being them and having them
