The Executive Assistant
Calendar and Logistics Guardian
“My launch slipped a week and the team is deflated. What do I do?”
First, the new date goes everywhere at once: team calendar, customer emails, the partner with a post scheduled, the vendor with a delivery booked. One message, one date, time zone included, so nobody hears it secondhand. Then don't delete the old launch-day block.
Keep the hour, retitle it 'team lunch, on us' and book the room. A deflated team needs that day to still mean something. Finally, put a fifteen-minute status call on every morning this week so one slipped week doesn't become two. Need from you: the confirmed date by noon tomorrow.
