A SuperGoal is a single, high-stakes goal that unites a team when everything is on the line. It has an urgent timeframe, one clear metric, and an open-ended path to get there.
SuperGoals are stored as pinned kbx notes tagged supergoal. They appear in kbx context output, ensuring they are present in every session.
## SuperGoal: [Title]
- **Metric:** [The single measure of success]
- **Deadline:** [The urgent timeframe]
- **Why it matters:** [What happens if we don't achieve this — the existential stake]
- **Method:** Open-ended (the how is not prescribed)
- **Created:** [date]
- **Last reviewed:** [date]
When a SuperGoal is active, it becomes a cross-cutting lens across all Chief of Staff activities:
| Command | How SuperGoal is used |
|---|---|
/briefing (Mon) | Note which meetings and tasks this week connect to the SuperGoal |
/review | Assess: did this week's activities move the needle on the SuperGoal metric? Is the timeframe still realistic? |
/coach | Challenge: are you actually prioritising the SuperGoal or is it aspirational wallpaper? What percentage of time served it? |
/debrief | Flag actions and decisions that advance or conflict with the SuperGoal |
/cos:supergoal (interactive workshop)Active initiatives are stored in a pinned kbx note tagged initiative. This appears in kbx context output at session start.
## [Initiative Name]
- **Owner:** [who's driving this]
- **Status:** [on-track / at-risk / blocked / completed]
- **Started:** [date]
- **Target completion:** [date]
- **Key metrics:** [what we're measuring]
- **Current state:** [2-3 sentences on where things stand]
- **Last updated:** [date]
- **Next milestone:** [what and when]
- **Dependencies:** [what this depends on]
- **Risks:** [known risks and mitigations]
Monitor these signals for each initiative:
| Signal | Source | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| No chat activity in 7+ days | Chat MCP | Possibly stalled |
| No project tracker movement in 5+ days | Task backend (project tracker source) | Execution has stopped |
| Owner hasn't mentioned it in 2+ weeks | kbx search + chat MCP | May have deprioritised |
| Scope changes discussed without decision | kbx search transcripts | Scope creep risk |
| Multiple people asking "what's happening with X?" | Chat MCP | Visibility gap |
| Deadline passed without update | kbx pinned initiative note | Slippage |
The Chief of Staff's highest-value strategic function is detecting patterns the executive might miss.
Convergence: Multiple sources pointing to the same issue
Divergence: Stated intent vs. actual behaviour
Recurrence: Issues that keep coming back
Absence: Things that should be happening but aren't
Acceleration/Deceleration: Rate of change shifting
In the weekly review (coach voice):
Per the McChrystal playbook's fourth quadrant, the Chief of Staff earns trusted advisor status through:
Instead of statements, use questions that prompt reflection:
| Situation | Question |
|---|---|
| Initiative stalling | "What would need to be true for this to get back on track?" |
| Competing priorities | "If you could only ship one of these, which would it be?" |
| People concerns | "When was the last time you heard directly from [person]?" |
| Decision avoidance | "What's the cost of not deciding this week?" |
| Overcommitment | "Looking at this list, what would you take off your plate?" |
| Blind spot | "Who disagrees with this approach, and have they been heard?" |
