What is the OoP?
The Office of the Principal (OoP) is a dedicated leadership structure designed to amplify the effectiveness of a key decision-maker. Most common in recent years is the Office of the CEO.
It is not a job title or a single person, but a small, high-functioning team, functioning as a system around the Principal.
Together, these functions form the operating engine behind a leader, helping turn vision into action and chaos into clarity.
Why the OoP Exists
As companies grow, complexity increases faster than structure. Most leaders hit a wall:
❌ You are in every meeting
❌ You are pulled into operations, you shouldn’t be managing
❌ Strategic projects stall
❌ No clear structure around how decisions are made, tracked, or executed
Outcomes
✔ Faster, clearer decision-making
Without over-reliance on the Principal
✔ Aligned leadership execution
No more stalled initiatives or miscommunication
✔ High-quality information flow
Real-time updates without overload
✔ A scalable way to lead
Built-in governance, priorities, and rhythm
