Is it typical for Senior to say “control Staff?"
Thought I'd share another leadership opportunity, this time for industry leaders in the Tech & Digital sector. Would love to connect with anyone who is a senior leader (MD / SVP) with deep experience in this sector alongside leadership experience in a TA / Growth or Client Relationship environment. Amazing opportunity to further establish and grow our presence with global leaders in Tech.

Head of the Business Unit has an informal Chief of Staff who formally is a M/SM of Sales Ops. This person has been w the company for 5 years and in this informal role for about 1-2 years. They do have a formal seat at the leadership table, despite not being a VP.
I connected with this informal COS to say Hi and learn more about the business, but in the very first meeting, I sensed a really weird vibe- they bluntly shut down a lot of my suggestions and friendliness, and later on gate-kept sending me some documents I requested.
I chatted with my boss about this weird situation, and only then, learned that this person also interviewed for my role, made it to the final 2, but boss chose me… Now I get it! Boss offered no further advice.
Anyway, I need to find a way to work with this person and somehow prove (?) that I was the right hire (?). Idk… it really is unnecessary extra pressure.
How do I prove myself n improve the relationship, and ofc earn my way to the table?
