The image of the former executive secretary, who, like Miss Monneypenny, sat in the boss's anteroom and mainly had to ensure that he was not disturbed, still haunts many people's minds. More modern ideas of the duties of an executive assistant see her more as the boss's right-hand woman, who follows him wherever he goes and is on hand to help with all his activities. In reality, however, the executive assistant (management assistant) usually acts as a relatively independent office manager. She relieves her boss of routine tasks, thinks and plans ahead, has solutions ready for any problems that arise and organizes both her day-to-day work and that of her boss. For example, an executive assistant (management assistant) at management level coordinates employees' work assignments, organizes business trips, designs presentations for the management meeting, processes mail, filing and correspondence, answers the phone and receives important guests.
