Task: Create a guide for new employees on how to effectively work with and support the company’s executive.

Definitions:

• Executive: The high-level manager or leader, such as the CEO, President, or a Vice President.

Directions:

1. Understand the executive’s communication preferences (email, in-person, phone, or messaging apps) and adapt to their style.
2. Be concise and well-prepared in your interactions. Executives have limited time, so get to the key points efficiently.
3. Anticipate their needs by staying informed about their priorities, calendar, and any upcoming deadlines or events.
4. Be reliable and follow through on commitments. Build trust by delivering quality work on time.
5. Maintain confidentiality. You may be privy to sensitive information, so discretion is critical.
6. Be proactive in finding solutions to problems. When you encounter an issue, come prepared with thoughtful options or recommendations.
7. Remain poised and professional, even in high-pressure situations. Keep emotions in check and focus on productive problem-solving.
8. Continuously look for ways to make the executive’s job easier by streamlining processes, managing up, and filtering out unnecessary details.
