Executive Assistant
What is the definition of Executive Assistant?
The organization assistant performs the usual roles of dealing correspondence, altering research, and communication while also acting as the “gatekeeper,” understanding in changing degree the requirements of the executive, and with an ability through this understanding to decide which scheduled events or meetings are most appropriate for allocation of the executive’s time. An executive assistant differs from an administrative assistant or secretary also in that he or she is expected to possess a higher degree of business acumen, as well as the capacity to influence others on behalf of the executive.
The role of the administrative worker varies wide between and even within establishments. In some cases, the organization assistant delegates work to the administrative assistant based on competence, experience, and knowledge of the context, confidentiality, priority, urgency and availability. Think of leading companies such as Carly Fiorina (Lucent, Hewlett-Packard), Colleen Barrett (Southwest Airlines) and Robin Eisenbrei.
