Product Description
by Anne Browning (Author)
The work has evolved. The title has not.
Executive Support is not overhead; it is strategic infrastructure. Yet, for too long, the title "Executive Assistant" has minimized complex orchestration into a support role, costing organizations millions in underutilized talent and costing EAs their career progression.
In The Title Is the Problem, Anne K. Browning dismantles the outdated structures holding the profession back. This is not a manual on how to "assist" or work "behind the scenes." It is a business case for redefining the role entirely.
It is time to close the gap between your impact and your recognition.
Misaligned titles do more than hurt feelings-they cap salaries, limit access to strategic rooms, and hide the true value of the role. Drawing on over two decades of experience operating as a strategic partner, Anne provides the blueprints to dismantle "service-first" conditioning and build a new foundation.
Inside, you will discover frameworks to:
Redefine the Scope: Distinguish between being used for tasks and being utilized for strategic growth.
Audit the Value: Practical tools to measure the ROI of your work and communicate it in leadership language, not support language.
Bridge the Leadership Gap: How to position yourself as an Architect of executive success rather than a "helper."
End the Invisibility: Why the "silent partner" narrative is dangerous and how to claim credit for the outcomes you orchestrate.
We are past the era of the "helper." It is time to recognize the Architect. If you are ready to stop explaining your value and start leading from the center, this book is your blueprint.
