Publisher's summary

Assistant, you are a leader.

As an assistant, you constantly face obstacles that hold you back from accomplishing your career goals. Whether it’s a job change, shifting deadlines, a micromanaging executive, a toxic coworker, a high-pressure project, or an intense negotiation with a vendor, the administrative profession is not for the faint of heart.

If you’re looking to maintain the status quo and be “just an assistant”, this audiobook is not for you. But, if you want the confidence and ability to conquer the challenges that most try to avoid, then you’re in the right place.

The Leader Assistant outlines four pillars - embody the characteristics, employ the tactics, engage in relationships, and exercise self-care - that will help you rediscover your passion for the profession and become a confident, future-proof, game-changing leader assistant. If you neglect even one pillar, you’ll head for burnout, stagnation, and anonymity. You are meant for so much more.

Are you ready to be the leader assistant the world needs?

So many helpful nuggets!

This was such a helpful book on how to be more effective, forward thinking, and influential as an Executive Assistant. I truly believe this book should be owned by every assistant and leader. Thank you Jeremy for this thoughtful resource - the physical copy of this book is highlighted, underlined, and flagged to within an inch of it’s life, might need a back up.

Practical, Insightful, Entertaining

Jeremy is a good storyteller! But this book is anything but a fable. His wisdom, knowledge and expertise conveyed through stories helps demonstrate practical application. From what NOT to do, what to be cautious of, and what tools/strategies will help you ROCK as a leader assistant, his communication is clear and effortless. The Leader Assistant is a MUST READ for anyone in a support role, and a SHOULD READ for those with supporting direct reports.

Must read for all EA/AA

Being out of the profession for quite some time, this book gave me all the necessary tools to jump right in again.

Either if you are new or a veteran, Jeremy gives us the 4 pillars that will take our profession to the next level.

A Must Read For ALL EA/PAs

This book will be a reference that I will return to over and over again. It touches on almost everything an assistant can face in their role and offers practical information on ways to grow and expand your leader ability, while navigating the landscape of the environment you’re in.

Excellent resource for Executive Assistants

I just finish the audiobook for the third time! I always get something new every time I listen! A great read for long road trips. Chapter 16: Negotiation is what stuck with me this time around as it’s an area of personal growth that I’m working on. This is a great resource for Executive Assistants at all levels of experience.

A strategic guide for making positive change, now!

Jeremy provides an intelligent and holistic guide for administrative professionals looking to "level up" and create more time in their lives and those they support. Perfectly paced and not too time-consuming, this is a logical and well-organized strategic reference guide with external links supporting his solutions and suggestions. In other words, this is a hands-on manual for making improvements right now! I highly recommend it if you feel you cannot 'get ahead' of your long list of responsibilities or feel stagnant and hopeless in your current role, edging toward 'burn-out.' Both the Audio and Kindle versions are valuable resources in my library.

A Valuable Resource!

I was re-entering the workforce after an extended break and wanted to refresh my Executive Assistant skills. The Leader Assistant was exactly what I needed! This book is packed with helpful information and will be a go-to resource as I start my new job! Jeremy Burrows is extremely well informed and so generous with his knowledge.

Great read!

A must for an EA wanting to level up and take charge of your career with confidence.

Fantastic!!!

As an Ops Manager that runs the EA side of the job still, this is a FANTASTIC reminder for me! I really wish I had known about this book when I first started as an EA over 3 years ago!

what every leader assistant needs to hear

I pretty much liked everything about the book. I like the audiobook his tone. the way he read it he kept it engaging and he was real. I definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to up their game and be a better leader assistant.
