The Successful Executive: Getting the best from your personal/executive assistant

Overview

The relationship between Director and EA/PA is one of the more challenging and essential in today's corporate environment. The role of the Executive Secretary is challenging and evolving and PAs are required to take on more responsibility than ever.

A successful executive is someone who can do what is needed. Knowledge, intelligence and imagination are important assets but they cannot bring effectiveness by themselves.  The development of certain habits of effective working are needed. They must focus on outward contributions: on results rather than work. Many managers/leaders and executives do not make the most of having a personal assistant.
