Executive support is most effective when priorities and authority are explicit. Calendar coordination, travel planning, meeting preparation, and confidential communication each require a clear understanding of the executive’s preferences.
Define the responsibilities before hiring
Describe the number of leaders supported, scheduling complexity, software, and communication channels. Clarify whether the assistant prepares options or makes arrangements independently. Ask for examples of handling conflicting priorities without losing important details.
Prepare the assignment and handover
Create rules for calendar changes, meeting materials, travel approvals, and urgent messages. Provide only the system access needed for the role. Schedule a short review of priorities so the assistant can resolve ambiguities before they disrupt the executive’s day.
