Chiefs of staff reveal life with world's most powerful

Life with the World's Most Powerful Leaders

Chiefs of staff from around the world have shared their experiences of working with the most powerful people in politics.

According to Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks, author of The Right Hand, these individuals are often the second-most powerful people in the room, yet remain largely unknown to the public.

"The (chief of staff) role has this professional intimacy, it's such a unique role and the biggest takeaway was that at the end of the day it does come back to friendship,"

Saintilan-Stocks notes that trust and loyalty are essential to the role, and once these are lost, the working relationship cannot continue.

The book features insights from eight chiefs of staff, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of those who support and challenge the world's most powerful leaders.
