Perfect for those starting in the field. Not much information for senior professionals. When I read, I was just begging in 2015 so it was very informative.

Those assistants who are beyond Sue France’s The Definitive Personal Assistant & Secretarial Handbook will find The Definitive Executive Assistant and Managerial Handbook a good book to read next as they advance on the corporate ladder. This book combines an introductory business management course with an introductory psychology course. Although I didn’t like it as much as The Definitive Personal Assistant & Secretarial Handbook, it is still a small, first step into thinking and acting like a manager. I recommend it.

Definitive Executive Assistant and Managerial Handbook
By Sue France
Publisher: Kogan Page

This book outlines in detail the essential elements of being an executive assistant. Like other handbooks by Sue France, it is a handy reference tool.
This book however looks at the leadership elements that an Executive Assistant has, in organising and motivating staff, managing a boss, leading teams, performance management, leading projects, negotiation, and looking at change within an organisation.
A great resource for office managers and executive assistants.
