The Value Of A Great Assistant

Today marks the one year anniversary of my assistant Emily with me and Explore Church. She is pictured below with her husband Jeff. She has been a tremendous help in her time at Explore Church and it got me thinking: What makes a great assistant? Here is a list that I came up with...and of course--Emily is all of these.

  1. A great assistant is proactive and takes initiative.
  2. A great assistant has a "can-do" attitude.
  3. A great assistant will create less work for you, not more.
  4. A great assistant will set you up for success.
  5. A great assistant will be a "Gate Keeper" and protect your time.
  6. A great assistant will be a sounding board and check your reality.
  7. A great assistant will be a time protector to increase your productivity.

Also--a great assistant will make you look good even when you are not looking too good!

Happy Anniversary Emily. You have been an answer to prayer!
