This is the best advice you will ever receive on how to build a strategic partnership with your executive, manage their day, and stay on top of the volumes of tasks and projects you have to handle. You may want to have weekly or monthly one-on-one time with some of the key executives you support. Daily Calendars. Status Updates.

Doing tasks that require focus during your own best time of day. So a better approach is to match the task to the time on the calendar when you know you’ll have the right kind of energy for it. Besides that, what would your day look like if a series of two-minute tasks came up while you were trying to work on a big project?

I was fortunate to learn at a young age that daily huddles or brief meetings between an executive and assistant are the most important part of the day and the partnership. They’ve been scheduled on their calendar as well. 99% of the time these are dismissed as not important. Of course, sometimes this just isn’t possible.

It is actually the same bring-forward system that I learned in high school, back in the 1970s, but in all my career had never needed to use until now. My boss likes me to print his weekly calendar on Monday so he can see at a glance what he has for the week so I clip that to the front of the folder. I do this for each day of the week.

When the results were in, I met with the person who administered it and one of the things it showed, other than the fact that I ranked very high in administration, was that I work best on short-term projects where I can see the end in sight.

They leave them free to handle tasks that really do demand their attention rather than waste time doing mundane duties that can be taken care of by an able and efficient assistant.

Make sure that tasks directly associated with clients come first, consider the financial impact of a project and its completion date on the company, don’t let deadlines control the priority list (expense reports can wait when there are more important tasks), and consider cause and effect (do A to enable B, which accomplishes C).

I just finished watching the DVD they made of my presentation and came to the following conclusions: I should have started my diet six months ago rather than only last week; I will never wear a sleeveless dress again without a jacket; I really need to spend a little more time styling the back of my hair and not just the front.
