Chief of Staff in Performing Arts. Addressing the Absence

  • Salvaggio, Salvino A.

Abstract

This brief article explores the absence of the Chief of Staff (CoS) role in performing arts organisations and reviews the key scientific literature on the role and functions of a CoS. It examines the potential benefits of introducing a CoS, such as improved operational efficiency, better alignment between artistic and administrative functions, and enhanced communication. The paper discusses the role definition of a CoS and outlines the challenges and limitations of implementing this position in a cultural setting, including resistance from staff, budget constraints, cultural differences, and the complexity of measuring impact. Ultimately, it argues that a CoS could significantly enhance the strategic and operational effectiveness of performing arts organisations.
