The Leader Assistant Podcast with Jeremy Burrows

#180: What Executives Say to Assistants - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly


Listen Later

I recently surveyed Leader Assistants of the world to ask them a few questions about their careers and experiences with executives.

In this episode, I share the first batch of responses received – some good, some bad, some ugly. I hope listening to what these executives said to their assistants reminds you that life is too short to work in a toxic environment, and that working for amazing executives and teams is something to be grateful for.

Here are the questions covered in this episode:

  • What's the WORST thing an executive (or colleague) has said to you?
  • What's the NICEST thing an executive (or colleague) has said to you?

SPECIAL GUEST NOTE
A huge thank you to my good friend Kernal Jay for helping out with this episode. His talented reading of the submissions from assistants stirred up a lot of different emotions for me, and I know it will be powerful for you as well. Not to mention, it was a lot of fun to produce and felt good to mix things up on the podcast. :-)
