ZEN and the ART - Insights and Tips

It had been a long meeting. And both Mr. Beeg, the CEO and Ronaldo, his EA, were feeling drained.

Widget inc. was on a runaway growth spurt. Still, Mr. Beeg and Ronaldo were exhausted from struggling to track multiple projects and deadlines.

They had several things lined up - the launch of the new wearables range, the commissioning of the new factory in Vietnam, the new branding, and even the status of the recruitment pipeline.

The CEO's Concern- How to Drive a Performance Culture?

Even after assembling a great team, Mr. Beeg was frustrated by missed deadlines, lack of collaboration, and clarity regarding the current project status. To top it all, Ronaldo, on whom Mr.Beeg relied for all the project updates and what was happening in the firm, was all over the place. Mr.Beeg had no clue how to lead his team if he didn’t know what they were doing.

An Executive Assitant's Dilemma- How To Diplomatically Manage Projects and Updates without Stepping on People's Toes.

Even for Ronaldo, nothing was working. Though he loved working at Widget inc. and respected his boss and colleagues, the recent pressure of keeping track of the multiple running projects drove him crazy.

Ronaldo relied on spreadsheets and a journal to keep track of the projects, but each project had a deadline and budget to be separately tracked, which was more time-consuming. He was drowning in emails and chats with functional heads, constantly requesting updates, causing frustration among his colleagues. Even when Mr. Beeg asked to see a budget sheet or design, he had difficulty finding the relevant files or information quickly enough for Mr. Beeg’s fast-paced leadership style.

Ronaldo’s unbalanced work life was destroying his personal life, and his frustration was at its peak. Maybe he would not have seen it without being in this frame of mind. But just before shutting off his phone at night, he was searching for how to make Reviews Simpler and Easier when he found Pronnel. Ronaldo introduced Pronnel to Mr. Beeg; finally, they got the solution to keep everything in one place.
