A stealth COO is a combination of an empire builder and an empire protector. They need to have the ability to harvest and innovate at the same time. A COO yearns for both personal growth and business growth, and their effectiveness leans heavily on the mindsets they maintain and the habits they nurture. With a long to-do list, a must-do list is needed. You have to ask yourself what are the things that would make you consider your day a failure if you don’t get them done. What mega-agents have to do in recruiting a COO, is hiring with the end goals in mind, not just the present needs.
