Abstract
Can there be anything more valuable to a busy executive or business owner than an assistant who independently gets things done? Or one who can take care of whatever comes along without needing guidance and direction? In order to juggle many priorities, work independently, and perform complex tasks, an exceptional executive assistant must be armed with highly specialized and well-developed skills. The most critical are listed here.
I knew my assistant could handle anything that came along, and she did. When The Apprentice Show came onto the scene everything ramped up and she was prepared for it.
—Donald J. Trump, Billionaire Real Estate Mogul
