8 reasons why you should build protocol into your CEO Office

Clear protocol is everything in the Office of the CEO. Here are 8 reasons why you should build protocol into your CEO Office:

1. Efficiency and output 

Protocol means you can get your job done, faster. You can do things like churn out board decks in far less time.

2. Risk reduction 

Protocol ensures that the right controls are in place. The risk of something bad happening, like a CEO going off script at your all-hands, is far less. 

3. Less mistakes 

You’re bound to make fewer mistakes with clear protocol. For example, there is clear direction on how to represent your CEO in a blog post or social media post.

4. Crisis management 

In times of crisis, protocol offers clear guidelines for action and communication. You can manage unforeseen issues like an employee lawsuit more effectively and calmly.

5. Security 

Protocols can physically protect your CEO and digitally protect sensitive information in your Office of the CEO, like investor earnings reports.

6. Professionalism 

Protocol ensures that all interactions with your CEO are professionally managed and conducted at a high level that reflects the prestige and power of your top executive.

7. Representation 

Communications protocol means your Office of the CEO can deliver a singular message on behalf of your CEO, ensuring that your message is coherent and unified.

8. Strong team dynamics 

If you have strong protocol in place, your Office of the CEO colleagues can confidently trust previously-defined processes and execute faster.
