The Assistant – Successful Leadership Begins with the Right Support!

In my conversation with Tobias Marti from NZZ, I was able to say openly what many think but rarely express:

The role of the assistant requires not only professionalism but also heart, intellect, and mental strength.

It deserves more visibility, respect, transparency, appreciation, and support. 💚

I spoke about leaders who inspire — and about those who forget that their assistant is not only a sparring partner but also a human being with boundaries.

I talked about how demanding, diverse, and mentally challenging this role is — and why true success is no coincidence, but the result of both sides working together.

I spoke about red flags, about loyalty, about respect.

And about the strength of those personalities who navigate daily between boardrooms, emotions, and escalation.
