Who Should Assistants Report To? Exploring the Executive vs. Head of Admin Debate

Should an assistant report directly to their executive or to a head of admin? This decision shapes the assistant’s role, development, and the value they bring to the organisation. Direct reporting fosters a close, strategic partnership with the executive, while reporting to a head of admin provides structure, support, and growth opportunities within an administrative team. Many organisations find success with a hybrid approach, blending the strengths of both models to empower assistants and maximise their impact.
