The Executive/EA Partnership Unpacked - Part Two

from The Principal's Perspective Hosted by The Principal's Perspective

The first conversation with Westbourne Grammar EA Danni Archer changed how a lot of people think about the Executive Assistant role. This one gets into the mechanics of how her partnership with the principal operates day to day. In this episode of The Principal's Perspective, Dr Adrian Camm and Danni move past the big ideas and into the specifics - inbox systems, calendar politics, communication drafting, interpersonal tension, and the emotional labour that comes with a role at the centre of a complex organisation. This episode covers: • The principal's sent folder as a source of intel • The art of saying no without saying no • Writing in someone else's voice • Putting on your armour - what the hard days look like • When you disagree with the decision, and back it anyway Part one asked whether you were underutilising your EA and this episode shows you just how valuable the partnership can be - when you get it right.
