The Invisible Scorecard of Executive Presence

The Quiet Evaluation Executive Assistants Are Measured By Before They Are Trusted, Included, and Heard

For years, Executive Assistants have been told to be organized, responsive, dependable, and efficient. While those skills matter, they are only part of the story.

Behind every executive partnership is an invisible evaluation taking place.

Executives are constantly determining who they trust with greater responsibility, who they include in critical conversations, who they seek counsel from, and who they view as a true strategic partner. The challenge is that most Executive Assistants are never told what they are actually being evaluated on.

The Invisible Scorecard of Executive Presence pulls back the curtain on the hidden factors that influence trust, credibility, influence, leadership, and visibility within the executive partnership.

Drawing from more than 25 years of executive support leadership experience, Rhonda E. Augustus introduces The Trust Seat™ Framework, a powerful model designed to help Executive Assistants understand how executive presence is developed, demonstrated, and recognized at the highest levels of the profession.

Inside this groundbreaking guide, you will discover the seven pillars executives often use, consciously and unconsciously, to evaluate executive support professionals:

• Trust

• Judgment

• Communication

• Business Acumen

• Influence

• Leadership

• Gravitas

Each chapter includes practical examples, real-world executive partnership insights, self-reflection questions, and Executive Presence Blind Spots that reveal the behaviors, habits, and assumptions that may be limiting your growth without you even realizing it.

Whether you are an Executive Assistant, Senior Executive Assistant, Executive Business Partner, Administrative Leader, or aspiring strategic partner, this book will challenge the way you think about your role and help you elevate your impact, influence, and leadership presence.
