Title: Throughout my career I&#x27;ve held exclusively engineering positions. However, I&#x27;ve noticed the parts of my work I enjoy the most aren&#x27;t necessarily the technical challenges, but instead improvements to process and productivity.<p>My favourite books are &#x27;Getting Things Done&#x27; [0], and &#x27;Deep Work&#x27; [1]. I also consistently try to find improvements to communication, requirement clarification, and decision making.<p>Is this mindset aligned with what would be expected from a COO? I know virtually nothing about the position apart from a line that stuck with me (paraphrased): &#x27;A COO is similar to a CEO, where they have to do the same amount of work but don&#x27;t get to make any of the decisions&#x27;.<p>Do you have any insights or books&#x2F;article recommendations for what the role of COO looks like? It would be greatly appreciated<p>[0] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;1633.Getting_Things_Done
