The Hidden Cost Of DIY Executive Tasks
Most C-suite leaders spend 16 hours per week on tasks their assistant could handle.
This costs companies over $2.1 million annually in lost productivity from high-level executives.
Every hour you spend on admin work is an hour not spent on strategy.
The real cost is not just your time – it is the missed opportunities while you handle emails and scheduling.
Tasks Your Executive Support Assistant Can Handle
| Category | Specific Tasks | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|
| Calendar Management | Scheduling, rescheduling, conflict resolution | 5 hours/week |
| Email Management | Filtering, responding, organizing | 8 hours/week |
| Travel Planning | Flights, hotels, itineraries | 3 hours/week |
| Meeting Preparation | Agendas, materials, follow-ups | 4 hours/week |
| Document Management | Filing, organizing, creating reports | 3 hours/week |
| Communications | Phone calls, client outreach | 5 hours/week |
Your C-suite VA handles all the details so you can focus on big picture decisions.
This support means you get back 28 hours per week for strategic work.
Most executives say this change doubles their impact on company growth.
Fortune 500 CEOs have an average of 3.2 executive assistants supporting them, proving how vital this role is for high-level success.
