It is widely agreed that the modern White House needs a chief of staff. In this article, based on interviews with former White House officials, we seek to outline the main elements and responsibilities of the Office of the Chief of Staff and to summarize advice on how best to accomplish its duties. We identify and describe the key roles played by the chief, discuss the structures and processes of the chief of staff's office in recent administrations, consider the most important attributes an individual can bring to the job, and note the rhythms of the chief of staff's daily routine.

Thais paper looks at successive attempts to coordinate defence policy, in Britain-from the setting up of the Chiefs of Staff Committee in 1923 onwards. It shows hiow innovations such as the creation of a Miniister of Defence in 1946, and the creation of a Chief of Defence Staff were less inmportant than personalities and traditions in the Services. The 1964 unification of the Ministry of Defence was, in turn, criticized as coordination-especiallv oni polic'l anid resource decisions-was difficult. Further authority was granted the Chlief of the Defence Staff in 1982, but in 1984 the Secretary of State proposed further cenitralization.
