INSIGHT

EAs As Embedded Process Executors

  • Treat executive assistants as embedded team members who execute processes, not just schedulers.
  • They free senior staff to focus on high-leverage work by owning recurring operational tasks.
ANECDOTE

Hiring To Force The Delegation Muscle

  • Sam hired Lori via Craigslist to force himself to learn delegation and practiced handing off tasks.
  • Early failures taught him to give more context and iterate on instructions.
ADVICE

De-Risk Tasks Before Handing Them Off

  • De-risk delegation by reducing scope and increasing visibility when trying new tasks.
  • Run parallel attempts so you don't lose work if the EA's first try fails.
