The Leader Assistant Podcast exists to encourage and challenge executive assistants and administrative professionals to become confident, game-changing Leader Assistants. Assistants have an enormous amount of influence as we manage the good, the bad, and the ugly in the life and work of our high-capacity, fast-paced CEOs, executives, pastors, celebrities, and politicians. The question is, what will we do with our influence? My name is Jeremy Burrows. I’m a longtime executive assistant, speaker, coach, founder of LeaderAssistant.com, and author of the #1 Amazon Best Seller, The Leader Assistant: Four Pillars of a Confident, Game-Changing Assistant. In this practical and inspirational podcast, my guests and I discuss a variety of topics including productivity, time management, resisting burnout, leadership, and artificial intelligence as it relates to the future of the assistant role. Are you ready to become the #LeaderAssistant the world needs?

#27: Urgent is Rarely Urgent
The Leader Assistant Podcast with Jeremy Burrows
09/22/19 • 7 min
Calling something an “emergency” doesn’t make it a true emergency. Most things can wait.
Urgent is rarely urgent.
Think about the last time you received a text or phone call from your executive during your off hours. Could it have waited until you were back online to address?
Most likely, the answer is yes. This episode is a reminder that urgent is rarely urgent.
I talk about setting expectations with your executive, as well as the different modes of communication and how my executive and I rank them in terms of urgency.
