How to Build a Better Partnership with Your Executive

As an admin, your primary responsibility is to support your executive. To do this effectively, you need the right set of skills, and you need to learn how to work well with your executive. But you want something more. You want to build a powerful partnership with your executive that ensures success for both of you.

A true partnership between an admin and an executive doesn’t just happen. It’s something that requires trust, communication, and proactive development.

It’s frustrating to have untapped skills and abilities, to know there are additional ways you can contribute, yet not know how to proceed. We understand your frustration, which is why we help admins create and execute a strategic plan for developing a better partnership with their executives.

During this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • Why it’s vital that you train your executive to utilize your skills.

No matter how long you’ve been working with your executive, the first step in improving your working relationship is to assess what’s working well and what needs improvement. Then you can create and execute the right strategy for building a stronger partnership.

Be a Game-Changer: Mastering Your Executive's Calendar and Their Time

Think about how you manage your executive’s time each day. Are you helping him or her make the most out of their working hours? Could both of you benefit from some more effective calendaring strategies?

As an admin, you’re likely responsible for booking meetings and keeping your executive on task. However, that can be a tall order when he or she is already overbooked and needs to add another meeting to their day. And it gets even more challenging when he or she has to leave early for a personal appointment.

  • Implement strategies to make your executive as successful as possible.
  • Utilize methods for keeping your executive on time.
