Madame Secretary, John,
I did some further thinking about what roles would make sense for Jen and
Kristina. Interestingly, I think Huma is a determing factor in deciding
how to proceed. Here's why:
I think it makes a lot of sense to have Jen be a Deputy who oversees
Communications, Research, and Scheduling. Those three functions are highly
complementary and integrated. In this scenario, I would have three people
report to Jen: a Communications Director (Kristina), a Research Director
and the Scheduling Director. This structure has a number of advantages: it
potentially allows us to recruit a stronger Research Director, since
researchers will like being on par with the Communications Director. It
will also help to tightly integrate the schedule with the communications
strategy, which is really good. It also provides me with a partner at the
top of the organization to help handle incoming, which I like.
On the other hand, if we have Huma in the Vice Chair role we
discussed--which I think would be really good, too--I would have the
Scheduling Director report to her instead of Jen. In this scenario, I
would have Jen be the Communications Director and Kristina be her deputy,
since I don't think it makes sense to have a Deputy who only oversees only
Communications and Research--at that point, you're just adding a layer.
As Communications Director, Jen could focus on coordination with digital,
strategic direction of reserach, oversight of surrogates and allied groups,
participation in the senior strategy team, and guidance on the overall
plan. Kristina could focus on detailed planning and implementation with the
press secretaries, as well as your media training. I think it's easy to
have a clear division of labor which plays to their respective strengths
and experience.
Either structure could suceed. The big quesiton in my view is whether Huma
will be in headquarters enough to actively manage staff (including the
Scheduling Dir) or whether she will be out on the road so much that
management is unrealistic. As we discussed, I'm comfortable with Huma
being out on the road a lot early in the Vice Chair role to help train the
new staff and make sure you have systems that fully support you, but we'd
need to be working towards having her in HQ more. Perhaps having Kiki on
the road would help make this possible?
We should probably discuss this more on the phone--let me know if you'd
like to do that.
On other fronts, I have some interesting COO candidate interviews early
this week. Stay tuned!
Robby
