E,BRACING THE POWER OF EXECUTIVE ASSISTANTS
According to an article in Harvard Business Review by Melba J. Duncan (May 2011), “delegating tasks to a skilled assistant can yield lucrative returns. The article presents an example of a senior executive with a $1 million annual compensation package who works with an assistant earning $80,000. To break even, the assistant must make the executive 8% more productive than working solo, saving approximately five hours within a 60-hour workweek.”
In reality, good assistants save their principals much more time! The article emphasizes the critical role of an assistant in achieving high levels of productivity. At VOLK, we specialize in offering exceptional customized assistants who are dedicated to helping you maximize your productivity and focus on what matters most.
