Often colleagues will ask you to make decisions on behalf of the boss, which is incredibly stressful. I would also keep all of the emails or communications that contain details of the decisions that you have made. You also have to be assertive. For assistants in this situation it can be pretty tough.

Words have always mattered, but they are especially important in times of high stress, anxiety, and remote work. In fact, the most effective assertiveness happens calmly, factually, and directly. Can we all be mindful of not expecting answers to emails and texts in the middle of the night? I wish that we will use our words.

However, many people run around stressed because they’re saying yes to everybody but themselves. That will give you the confidence to manage your work assertively. Even if we can use this word with our spouse and children, we still have a hard time saying it to other people. It’s important to learn how and when to say no.

Although you must also assert some flexibility into the system, this does not mean you have to abandon its constant reinforcement. If you’ve been reading the GTD book by David Allen , you are probably convinced now that a stress-free productivity is not a matter of managing your time. Your email will remain private.

If you need to confront a delicate situation with someone who’s particularly stressed out, choose your timing wisely. While you want to demonstrate assertiveness, you need to balance it with respect. Email this to a friend? If you have a topic to discuss that may be uncomfortable or awkward, take note of the people in the room.

Executives do not share necessary information with their Assistants and do not always include their Assistant in their email communications. Executives and Assistants cannot keep up with the emails that flood their Inbox on a 24/7 basis. Employees feel time-compressed. Executives are independent and tech savvy.

By counting backwards and focusing on the numbers, it is more difficult to focus on the actual stress element and therefore, you become more relaxed. Be assertive, state your case, and give and ask for solutions. Think before reacting. Think about the ramifications if you react one way versus another. Truth Hurts.

Access to email means your boss can find you wherever, whenever. I was always on-call, responding to emails within moments of receiving them and handling tasks quickly because I didn’t want to be a bottleneck in productivity. In our ever-connected world, we are being drained by our work. But the burnout hit me hard.

So, if you’re into it, just hit me up with an email in which you’re telling me your blog address, a few words about yourself and why would you like to review it. Of course, deadlines are always looming and the very thought of the word conjures up stress and chaos. I love your perception. I like the liveline much better.

Communications: When an assistant is writing an email on her executive’s behalf, acknowledge who you are communicating with and how you are communicating with them. “When you speak on my (executive) behalf, you need to use my voice.

Over time I have felt increasing pressure and stress. cause, as you said, most of it is run unconsciously, so injunctions, attributions, rackets and so on run 24/7 in our mind to reinforce the script we set when we were very young; i mean assertiveness is crucial and sometimes this is not enough what do you think? It began well.
