A typical day

Start before your executive does, clearing the overnight inbox and flagging what actually needs them. Rebuild the day's calendar when a meeting overruns and four others have to move. Book a trip: flights, hotel, car, a dinner reservation, a printed itinerary. Sit in a meeting and capture what was decided. Prepare tomorrow's documents, chase three people for the numbers, and quietly warn your executive about the conversation they are walking into at four.
