Product Description
Business owners and executives are leaving the home office more and more frequently to go on business trips around the world. It’s simply a part of modern professional life.
What does that mean for you as an assistant?
More trips for your leader means more trip planning for you. Planning for business travel is a layered and difficult task. So many assistants leave out critical elements and many more make the mistake of planning only for trips where everything goes right. The reality of travel dictates that you, as the business travel planner, understand the nuances, account for the unexpected, and prepare long before the flight starts boarding.
Embracing your role as the primary support for your leader before, during, and after their work trips will equate to a better working relationship and respect for the effort you put into mitigating their stress.
