💡 The best delegators have delegation footprints that are deep and wide. Their EA has taken on responsibilities across many pillars of their life.
Defining breadth & depth
Breadth is having your EA work across all pillars of your life. Depth is the difference between your EA helping you with hiring by posting a job description vs. sourcing, screening and getting out offers at jet speed.
Achieving depth
To achieve depth in any of the pillars your EA requires:
- Access: My EA has the access to take on more responsibility in this area.
- Context: I’ve equipped my EA with the context on what success in this area of my life would look like for me and what preferences I have.
- Systems: My EA and I have co-designed systems that allow us to collaborate in this area and allow them to operate with autonomy.
The pillars
Our onboarding program focuses on foundations: the base of any partnership. By onboarding your EA to manage your time, presence, and attention, you have a foundation for both of you to take on more.
