The answer is simple but not always so obvious. Dedicate yourself to the essential tasks that require YOUR time as a leader and are critical to driving your business strategy forward, and DELEGATE everything else. Don’t get bogged down in the administrative weeds of running the office. Successful business leaders know that having the right assistant can boost productivity exponentially. Delegate the administration. Even if you prefer to answer your own emails and make your own travel plans, the right assistant can manage projects, troubleshoot, organize follow ups with clients and employees, schedule meetings, put together presentations, troubleshoot technical problems and act as your de facto sergeant at arms. You can determine if you want an assistant who is a generalist or one who has special skills: social media, CRM systems, presentations to investors, project management, travel, languages – almost any skill you need to help leverage your productivity!
