Episode 324: Stop Hiring the Wrong Role: Executive Assistant vs. Office Manager
Manage episode 506701226 series 2914144
In this episode, Molly unpacks the million-dollar difference between hiring an executive assistant and bringing on an office manager, COO, or CEO. She explains why a skilled EA can immediately relieve bottlenecks, protect your energy, and streamline daily operations—often fueling growth faster and with less strain than high-level hires. From managing calendars to client interactions, Molly shows how the right executive assistant transforms both your business and your personal life.
Key Takeaways:
- An executive assistant (EA) can deliver ROI right away by taking operational and personal tasks off your plate—something a COO or CEO hired too soon can’t do.
EAs protect your energy and keep your day moving smoothly by handling logistics and details that often drain leaders.
Start by writing down your frustrations and bottlenecks—this list reveals where an EA can step in and free up your focus.
Handing off routine tasks to an EA lets law firm leaders spend more time on growth, strategy, and vision.
- Addressing personal and business bottlenecks can unlock space to hit your goals—and improve your overall well-being.
Quote for the Show: "You need someone who can do the work, own the outcomes, and build the systems that future hires will depend on." - Molly McGrath
