EA as a Leader

Being an Executive Assistant can be a challenging role which requires thorough understanding of leadership. However, every EA experiences success through different leadership styles. So, what are some experiences, expertise, and lessons that EAs can learn over their careers?

In this episode, we are joined by Stephanie Ebert, EA to the CEO at Services Australia, Michelle Oliver, EA to David Fredericks PSM, Secretary of the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources, and Sarah Kalleske, EA to the Head of Service and Director-General at ACT Public Service.

This episode has been adapted from a webinar on 8 June 2022, which revolved around emerging issues and challenges that EAs face. The discussion was facilitated by Holly Noble, Director of Strategic Planning and Performance at the Department of Finance.

Discussed in this episode:

  • What it is like to be an Executive Assistant.
  • Creating impact through adaptive and situational leadership.
  • How EAs can meet the increasing expectations and challenges they face.
