What does the day in the life of a chief operating officer look like?
Here's the cleaned transcript:
Well, I'm not sure about anywhere else. But here at Christ-Centered Ministries, we're a very unique company.
A day for me can include anything from four to five meetings of all kinds, whether it's progress updates or strategic planning. I do budgeting and billing, purchasing.
I work with human resources on employment issues, talking directly to my clients in our Housing Programs regarding behavioral issues. I also work on the development of new buildings for more programs, handling technology issues, preparing teams for audits, writing policies and procedures, and executing grants and contracts.
It's a lot of stuff that requires oversight. So, when I come in on any given day, it's busy from beginning to end, and sometimes I leave after everybody else.
