ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How do you train EAs to think strategically?
“Be more strategic.”
It’s one of the most common pieces of advice executive assistants hear.
It’s also one of the least explained.
Strategic thinking isn’t a personality trait and it’s not something you either have or don’t have.
- It’s a skill, and like any skill, it can be trained. In this episode, Rachael Bonetti breaks down:
Why some EAs develop strategic thinking through exposure - why others are placed into environments that keep their role transactional.
- Why this isn't a capability gap.
- Why it IS a context gap.
- What strategic thinking actually looks like in executive support and how you can start developing it deliberately in your role.
