Chief of staff weekly decision review
A weekly review that keeps unresolved leadership decisions visible and attached to an owner.
In this guide
- Define the executive support outcome
- Match role scope to leadership cadence
- Use a structured selection process
Define the role
Collect decisions from leadership meetings, project reviews, and important stakeholder conversations. Record the question, decision owner, deadline, and evidence still missing.
Set the operating model
Group the list by decision date rather than by department. This makes conflicts easier to see when several teams need the same executive attention.
Choose with care
Close the review by removing decisions that are no longer active and escalating only the items that need a leader's choice. A short list gets read.
