## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Smart women behaving snarkily, motherly and bitterly.
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2013*

I'm an EA that recently relocated to SV from NY and was hoping to get some real insight into this industry, i.e. a professional read. This book is a compilation of stories of assistants patting themselves on the back for doing what we do as EAs - there are situations that require us to call upon our female instincts to solve problems (like when my Sr. Exec Canadian boss forgot his greencard and traveled internationally but had to be fly back to JFK the next morning for an important meeting). To say this book is specific to SV is not doing the EA's justice. They're obviously stellar assistant's but most of the stories seem to be about being smarter than their boss in many situations without getting rewarded for it. I was half way through the book and sighed for them.  They seemed to be in in these roles for the thrill of attempting to constantly show their bosses how smart they are and then in a sarcastic way, indicate the 'of course we didn't see a bonus' quip. This book was a missed opportunity for some solid information while still keeping a sense of playfulness that is required in the role.I'm guessing this book was thought up while having a glass of chardonnay at the Rosewood Sandhill.  It sounded like a great idea with a buzz and sun in their eyes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An Honest Look at the Lives of Executive Assistants
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 23, 2009*

I work in Silicon Valley.  I read this book with a lot of personal interest and curiosity.  I am not an admin or a CEO.  However I do manage people and I do interact with admins.  This book is filled with interesting stories and summarizing insights at the end of each section.  I feel like a lot of the wisdom shared with the reader can be applied to everybody's daily life.  A lot of it has to do with common sense.  Something your mother might have told you before.  But it is always good to see how this common sense applies to people  who devote their careers helping the powerful CEO's of Silicon Valley.  I've taken good notes of their lessons learned and feel like it will benefit me in my own ways.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An entertaining and insightful read for administrative professionals
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 8, 2010*

This was an enjoyable read!  The book is filled with real life scenarios that CEO assistants have encountered in their professional life, how they resolved the issues, and the lessons learned.  The practical tips (Points of Wisdom) at the end of each chapter were my favorite "take-away".  As someone who can personally relate to many of these stories, these tips and tools are important for developing or enhancing the assistant's partnership with their supervisor and for their career.Thanks to all the contributors who shared their honest stories and valuable lessons with us!
