As an assistant, one of your highest priorities is to manage your executive’s most valuable asset – their time. If you look at your role through this lens, then you’ll stop viewing “calendar management” as an uninteresting part of your job.
This episode features an excerpt from my audiobook, The Leader Assistant: Four Pillars of a Confident, Game-Changing Assistant. In this chapter, I cover managing your executive’s calendar before it manages you, setting up and maintaining the “Ideal Week” tactic, and auditing your executive’s time.
Don’t forget to download the entire audiobook here. If you’re not an audiobook fan, you can always grab the paperback or eBook versions here.
