Insight, Ethics, Sense of Humor, Trust. An executive’s assistant can make or break them. A great assistant makes EVERYONE feel special (but more importantly, not necessarily their boss, who needs an honest partner, not a cheerleader). When you find one who is World Class, the teamwork can be truly amazing. Told using real-world stories, this book will help all professionals wanting to excel as an executive assistant. ”
