Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to conduct a comparative analysis of changes occurring among individuals holding managerial positions in the offices of six Polish presidents between 1989 and 2025. The analysis revealed, on the one hand, relative similarities in the socio-demographic structure of the group studied, its recruitment channels, and the fate of its members after leaving the Chancellery. On the other hand, it revealed three patterns of political functioning of the Chancellery: “restrained,” accompanied by a low level of staff turnover in the Chancellery, and “moderately active” and “active,” in which, depending on the presidents’ relations with their “home” parties, we saw a moderately high or high level of staff turnover.
