[Roundtable] Guardian: Ethics, Risk, & the Chief of Staff's Role in Protecting Organizational Integrity

​There is nothing "low stakes" about being a Chief of Staff.

​And in high-trust roles, Chiefs of Staff are often the ones expected to protect it.

​This session is part of the 2025 Chief of Staff Practitioner Series—a monthly forum to define shared standards in critical domains of the role.

​This month, we’re focused on ethics, governance, and risk as a core practice area—how to manage confidential information, navigate gray zones, and make principled decisions when the pressure is high and the guardrails are unclear.

​In this session, we’ll work together to:

• ​Surface the hidden risks Chiefs of Staff are expected to manage

• ​Clarify how trust, access, and ethical responsibility actually play out in practice

• ​Share real-world strategies for navigating ethical tension

• ​Define what ethical leadership looks like in the CoS role

• ​Identify the practices that protect both integrity and influence

​⭐️ You’ll also:

• ​Build your Chief of Staff peer network

• ​Help shape a shared standard in a core domain of the role

• ​Be listed as a contributor on the published framework

​Here are the details:
