Building a Strong Relationship with Your Assistant

Delivering growth goals abrasively is highlighted as a common pitfall in working with assistants. Entrepreneurs, especially those inclined towards rapid progress, often struggle with impatience, seeking immediate victories and affirmation. This impatience can hinder the long-term view necessary for a successful assistant relationship. Developing awareness, understanding the assistant's role in significant work, and setting a foundation for shared vision and values form the key components of a fruitful collaboration.
