Partnering with Your Executive

To excel as an executive assistant or administrative professional, you have to be able to seamlessly support all types of leaders. This webinar uses data-driven humor and anecdotal tales of wins and woes to dive into a career-defining opportunity: partnering with your boss. Build your emotional intelligence as you explore ways to connect with different boss types. Hear first-hand from one of your rapidly advancing peers the best ways to understand and adapt to your boss’ personal style, persevere in the face of adversity, and plan for mutual success. We’ll look at several examples of real-life bosses: what moves them, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to best build trust and support their efforts. 

Be prepared to walk away with a clear action plan on how to:

• Focus your energy on what you have influence over
• Become a ‘Hero’ who anticipates the challenges of others
• Develop your ownership-mentality

Bonus Handout:  Your Action Plan

Hot Tip: Make a list of your bosses KPIs (Key performance indicators). If you know what success looks like for them, you can then create an action plan to ensure time is spent focusing on the activities that contribute to your boss’ KPIs.
