If the situation is to change, then EAs need to participate in the assertion about what assistants do and the responsibilities they now hold. Ask to sit in on meetings and volunteer for projects that will stretch you, including managing others. Don’t wait to be asked. Be ready to say why you want to do these things.

Some managers feel that they would do the project themselves just so they know it will get done their way.
