If our manager’s take little time to help us set good objectives (again this is fairly common) how do they know what to judge us on? I’ve added a few dual objectives that I shared with my manager so that we both had something to work on together throughout that year…. The first large commercial event is in July 2014.

In preparation for a webinar I held on October 8 called Managing Your Executive’s Day , we sent out a survey and received 700+ responses to the questions “What is your biggest struggle in partnering with your executive?” Executive manages their own email therefore the assistant is out of the loop. #2 That is a terrific response rate.

If a co-worker asks you to fudge some numbers on a travel expense report, you can give yourself the space to react with a few responses like the following: “I need to think on that. Less than 100 seats remain for this upcoming event, The Revolutionary Assistant. Here’s an example of putting the tool into practice. Give me an hour.”.

If it is a situation that requires urgent attention, be assertive and ask for help and apologize for any inconvenience. I deal with this woman almost monthly for organizational travel.

Projects, tasks and events will start to fall into their places.
