What Defines a High-Performing Executive Assistant?

An effective Executive Assistant combines discretion, initiative, and outstanding organisational skills. They coordinate complex diaries, prepare reports, and act as a key point of contact across the business. Clear communication, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure are essential. With experience supporting C-level executives, they handle sensitive information, anticipate needs, and ensure their executive is always one step ahead—allowing leadership to focus on high-value activity.

Executive Assistants must expertly manage complex calendars, often across multiple time zones and departments. They prioritise appointments, coordinate meetings, and ensure executives stay on top of key deadlines, avoiding scheduling conflicts while maintaining flexibility for urgent changes.

Clear, professional, and tactful communication is essential. EAs handle high volumes of internal and external correspondence, write reports and emails on behalf of executives, and serve as a gatekeeper—ensuring accurate messaging and alignment with senior leadership tone and intent.

Executive Assistants often deal with sensitive information, including financial data, HR matters, or strategic plans. Discretion is vital, and the ability to handle confidential information responsibly helps maintain trust at the highest levels of an organisation.

A great EA doesn’t just follow instructions—they anticipate potential issues and solve problems before they arise. Whether it’s resolving travel disruptions, adjusting schedules, or responding to last-minute requests, they act with speed and confidence.

From booking international travel to preparing board papers and coordinating projects, Executive Assistants must juggle multiple priorities with precision. Strong planning ensures nothing is missed and everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Modern EAs must be adept with office software, calendar systems, CRM tools, and video conferencing platforms. They may also manage data entry, produce reports, and support digital filing systems to streamline operations and communication.
