A good system is documentable, sharable, and repeatable. Travel planning. The best way to explain how to document your systems on paper is to show you. Review calendars and compile date and time options. Determine the agenda and who is presenting. Create the meeting agenda for the department head’s approval.

You can add the agenda to the meeting request by attaching it. My current boss travels a lot so I put his travel schedule in the calendar as well. For example if he is travelling to Vienna I will start a meeting request for each part of the journey and categorize it as Red.

The reality of being an EA is that while the phones, calendar, and travel are essentially the same in every office your boss and your team are always unique people with their own work styles and needs. I often turn these extra documents in before my first interview or bring them to the interview. 5) Learn to never say no.

If he is travelling, I send it by e-mail, but it has been my experience that I will get better results with a face-to-face meeting. INCOMING MAIL: As with e-mail, you should read the letter to see if there are any action items for your boss (or yourself) and diarize them or put the appropriate dates in the calendar.
