I will be hiring my first EA soon to help clear up my time so I can do more executive-level work. I’ve shared a few EAs with other colleagues before, usually for scheduling meetings, taking notes, and some ad hoc requests. I’m wondering from all Execs here, what responsibilities/tasks have you given to your EAs that has helped you immensely (other things besides scheduling and meeting notes). I’m currently a CoS/COO.

give them the logins to all of your travel profiles and let them know your preferences on things how you like your calendar to work, if you want to decline meetings or if they will be managing your calendar on your behalf. I know sometimes it’s hard to let go and be available all day every day, but it’s important to protect some working time as well and they can do it without you even having any FOMO.

What I used to do is have a daily 15 min meeting first thing AM with my EA. Go over calendar, priorities, tasks, travel, meetings. I used my EA a bit like a “project manager of me” sometimes. Empower them.

Travel, expenses, planning team events.

Powerpoint decks, metrics, T&Es, travel, etc

Agenda and slides for meetings, calendar planning/follow up with gtm
