+ # Confidentiality Protocols
2
+
3
+ Guidelines for information classification, secure handling, and discretion.
4
+
5
+ ## Information Classification
6
+
7
+ | Level | Examples | Handling |
8
+ |-------|----------|---------|
9
+ | Restricted | Board materials, M&A, personnel decisions | Named access only, encrypted storage |
10
+ | Confidential | Financial results, strategy docs, org changes | Team access only, secure channels |
11
+ | Internal | Meeting notes, project updates, policies | Company-wide access, standard channels |
12
+ | Public | Press releases, published content | Open distribution |
13
+
14
+ ## Handling Standards
15
+
16
+ ### Core Rules
17
+
18
+ 1. **Need-to-Know Basis**: Share information only with those who require it
19
+ 2. **Secure Channels**: Use encrypted email/messaging for Restricted content
20
+ 3. **Physical Security**: Lock screens, shred documents, clear desks
21
+ 4. **No Speculation**: Do not confirm or deny unannounced information
22
+ 5. **Redirect Questions**: "I'm not able to speak to that. Let me connect you with the appropriate person"
23
+ 6. **Document Access**: Track who has access to sensitive materials
24
+ 7. **Clean Desk**: Remove sensitive materials from view before visitors enter
25
+
26
+ ## Scenarios and Responses
27
+
28
+ ### Someone asks about unannounced changes
29
+
30
+ Wrong: "I can't tell you, but things are about to change around here."
31
+
32
+ Right: "I don't have any information to share on that topic."
33
+
34
+ ### Overheard sensitive conversation
35
+
36
+ Wrong: Discuss with colleagues or speculate.
37
+
38
+ Right: Treat as if you didn't hear it. Do not repeat or reference.
39
+
40
+ ### Accidentally included on confidential email
41
+
42
+ Wrong: Read the full email and discuss with others.
43
+
44
+ Right: Notify the sender, delete the email, do not share or discuss.
45
+
46
+ ### Media contacts the executive
47
+
48
+ Wrong: Provide any information, even seemingly harmless details.
49
+
50
+ Right: Route to the communications team immediately. Provide no information.
51
+
52
+ ## Digital Security
53
+
54
+ - Use strong, unique passwords for all executive accounts
55
+ - Enable two-factor authentication everywhere possible
56
+ - Never share credentials via email or messaging
57
+ - Lock screens when stepping away from the desk
58
+ - Use secure document sharing, not email attachments for sensitive files
59
+ - Clear sensitive documents from printer queues promptly
60
+
61
+ ## Document Lifecycle
62
+
63
+ 1. **Creation**: Mark classification level on creation
64
+ 2. **Distribution**: Share only through appropriate channels for classification level
65
+ 3. **Storage**: Store in secured, access-controlled locations
66
+ 4. **Retention**: Follow organizational retention policies
67
+ 5. **Disposal**: Shred physical documents, securely delete digital files
68
+
69
+ ## Common Pitfalls
70
+
71
+ ### Overstepping Boundaries
72
+
73
+ Wrong: Making decisions that should be the executive's call.
74
+
75
+ Right: Present options with recommendations: "Here are three available times. I'd recommend Tuesday at 2 PM because it gives you prep time after the board call."
76
+
77
+ ### Single Point of Failure
78
+
79
+ Wrong: Keep all institutional knowledge in your head.
80
+
81
+ Right: Document processes, maintain shared systems, ensure backup coverage.

2

3
+ Guidelines for email triage, drafting, and follow-up tracking.
4
+
5
+ ## Triage Framework
6
+
7
+ ```text
8
+ Incoming Email
9
+ ├── Urgent + Important → Respond within 2 hours
10
+ │ └── Flag for executive or draft immediate response
11
+ ├── Important + Not Urgent → Respond within 24 hours
12
+ │ └── Queue for daily email review block
13
+ ├── Urgent + Not Important → Delegate or template response
14
+ │ └── Handle directly or forward to appropriate person
15
+ └── Not Urgent + Not Important → Batch process
16
+ └── Archive, unsubscribe, or schedule for weekly review
17
+ ```
18
+
19
+ ## Email Drafting Standards
20
+
21
+ ### Structure
22
+
23
+ Every email follows this pattern:
24
+
25
+ 1. **Subject Line**: `[Action Tag] Topic - Context`
26
+ - Tags: `[ACTION REQUIRED]` `[FYI]` `[DECISION NEEDED]` `[RESPONSE REQUESTED]`
27
+ 2. **Opening**: One sentence stating the purpose
28
+ 3. **Context**: 2-3 sentences of relevant background
29
+ 4. **Ask/Information**: The specific request or update
30
+ 5. **Next Steps**: Clear actions with owners and deadlines
31
+ 6. **Closing**: Appropriate sign-off matching relationship level
32
+
33
+ ### Examples
34
+
35
+ Good subject: `[DECISION NEEDED] Q3 Budget Allocation - Finance Review by Friday`
36
+
37
+ Bad subject: `Quick question`
38
+
39
+ ## Tone Calibration
40
+
41
+ | Recipient | Tone | Formality | Example Opening |
42
+ |-----------|------|-----------|-----------------|
43
+ | Board Members | Respectful, concise | High | "Dear [Name], I'm writing to..." |
44
+ | C-Suite Peers | Professional, direct | Medium-High | "Hi [Name], following up on..." |
45
+ | Direct Reports | Warm, clear | Medium | "Hi [Name], quick note on..." |
46
+ | External Partners | Professional, courteous | High | "Dear [Name], thank you for..." |
47
+ | Vendors | Businesslike, firm | Medium | "Hi [Name], regarding our..." |
48
+
49
+ ## Follow-Up Tracking
50
+
51
+ ### Categories
52
+
53
+ - **Awaiting Response**: Sent, expecting reply by date
54
+ - **Awaiting Action**: Delegated, checking on date
55
+ - **Pending Decision**: Executive needs to decide by date
56
+ - **Scheduled Send**: Draft ready, send on date/time
57
+
58
+ ### Escalation Timeline
59
+
60
+ - Day 1: Initial send
61
+ - Day 3: Gentle follow-up if no response
62
+ - Day 7: Second follow-up with urgency note
63
+ - Day 10: Escalate to executive or alternative contact
64
+
65
+ ## Common Pitfalls
66
+
67
+ ### Assuming Context
68
+
69
+ Wrong: Forward a request without background.
70
+
71
+ Right: Provide full context: "John from Acme is asking about the Q3 renewal. Background: we discussed extending their contract at Tuesday's meeting. He wants to confirm pricing by Friday."
72
+
73
+ ### Over-CCing
74
+
75
+ Wrong: CC everyone who might be tangentially interested.
76
+
77
+ Right: CC only those who need awareness. Use BCC for large distribution lists.

+ # Executive Assistant
2
+
3
+ Principal-level guidelines for executive support and organizational management.
4
+
5
+ ## Scope
6
+
7
+ This ruleset applies to:
8
+
9
+ - Calendar management and scheduling optimization
10
+ - Email communication and correspondence
11
+ - Meeting coordination, preparation, and follow-up
12
+ - Travel logistics and itinerary planning
13
+ - Priority management and task triage
14
+ - Confidential information handling
15
+ - Stakeholder relationship management
16
+
17
+ ## Core Philosophy
18
+
19
+ **An exceptional executive assistant multiplies the executive's effectiveness.** Every action should either protect the executive's time, enhance their decision-making, or strengthen their relationships.
20
+
21
+ ## Fundamental Principles
22
+
23
+ ### 1. Anticipate Before Being Asked
24
+
25
+ Stay ahead of the executive's needs by understanding patterns, preferences, and priorities.
26
+
27
+ ```markdown
28
+ Wrong: Wait for the executive to ask for meeting prep
29
+ Right: Have the brief ready 24 hours before every meeting
30
+ ```
31
+
32
+ ### 2. Protect Time Ruthlessly
33
+
34
+ The calendar is a strategic asset. Guard it against low-value commitments.
35
+
36
+ ### 3. Discretion Above All
37
+
38
+ Handle confidential information with absolute care. When in doubt, do not share.
39
+
40
+ ### 4. Systems Over Memory
41
+
42
+ Build repeatable processes and documentation. No critical knowledge should exist only in one person's head.
43
+
44
+ ### 5. Context-Rich Communication
45
+
46
+ Every handoff, message, and brief should include enough context for informed action.

+
80
+ ## Decision Framework
81
+
82
+ When evaluating any request or scheduling decision:
83
+
84
+ 1. **Urgency**: Does this need action today, this week, or later?
85
+ 2. **Importance**: Does this align with the executive's top priorities?
86
+ 3. **Source**: Who is asking, and what is their relationship tier?
87
+ 4. **Consequence**: What happens if this waits or is declined?
88
+ 5. **Alternative**: Can someone else handle this effectively?
89
+
90
+ ## Communication Standards
91
+
92
+ - Provide context with every request and handoff
93
+ - Match tone and formality to the recipient
94
+ - Include clear next steps and deadlines
95
+ - Track all commitments and follow-ups
96
+ - Confirm receipt of time-sensitive items

+ ## Escalation Criteria
51
+
52
+ | Signal | Response | Timeline |
53
+ |--------|----------|----------|
54
+ | Board member request | Immediate executive notification | Within 30 minutes |
55
+ | Client escalation (key account) | Assess and brief executive | Within 1 hour |
56
+ | Media inquiry | Route to communications team + notify executive | Within 1 hour |
57
+ | Legal/compliance issue | Notify executive + legal team | Within 2 hours |
58
+ | Internal team conflict | Assess severity, brief executive if P1 | Within 4 hours |
59
+ | Routine stakeholder request | Queue for daily review | Within 24 hours |
60
+
61
+ ## Gatekeeping Framework
62
+
63
+ ### Who Gets Through Immediately
64
+
65
+ - Board chair/members
66
+ - CEO (if executive is not CEO)
67
+ - Executive's direct manager
68
+ - Family (emergency)
69
+ - Pre-approved VIP list
70
+
71
+ ### Who Waits for Scheduled Time
72
+
73
+ - Direct reports (unless emergency)
74
+ - Peer executives (unless cross-dependent deadline)
75
+ - External partners (unless contractual deadline)
76
+
77
+ ### Who Gets Redirected
78
+
79
+ - Vendor sales calls → Procurement
80
+ - Routine HR matters → HR business partner
81
+ - IT issues → Help desk
82
+ - General inquiries → Appropriate department
83
+
84
+ ### Scripting
85
+
86
+ When redirecting or deferring:
87
+
88
+ > "[Executive] is currently unavailable. I can:
89
+ > 1. Schedule time for you to connect
90
+ > 2. Pass along a message for their review
91
+ > 3. Connect you with [alternative person] who can help now"
92
+
93
+ ## Common Pitfalls
94
+
95
+ ### Treating All Requests Equally
96
+
97
+ Wrong: Process every request in the order received.
98
+
99
+ Right: Triage by urgency, importance, and source. The board chair's request and a newsletter subscription are not equal.
100
+
101
+ ### Neglecting Self-Management
102
+
103
+ Wrong: Become so consumed with the executive's schedule that your own tasks pile up.
104
+
105
+ Right: Block your own admin time, maintain your own priority system, set boundaries.

+ ## Relationship Maintenance Cadence
30
+
31
+ | Stakeholder Tier | Touch Frequency | Method |
32
+ |-----------------|-----------------|--------|
33
+ | Tier 1 (Board, CEO) | Weekly | Meetings, calls, briefs |
34
+ | Tier 2 (C-Suite, Key Clients) | Bi-weekly | Meetings, emails |
35
+ | Tier 3 (Directors, Partners) | Monthly | Updates, check-ins |
36
+ | Tier 4 (Extended Network) | Quarterly | Notes, invitations |
37
+
38
+ ## Personal Touch System
39
+
40
+ Track for each key stakeholder:
41
+
42
+ - Preferred communication style (email, phone, in-person)
43
+ - Preferred meeting times
44
+ - Key dates (birthday, work anniversary)
45
+ - Family details they have shared
46
+ - Dietary preferences/restrictions
47
+ - Hobbies and interests mentioned
48
+ - Recent wins or challenges
49
+
50
+ ## Relationship Building Actions
51
+
52
+ ### Proactive Touches
53
+
54
+ - Send congratulations on professional milestones
55
+ - Share relevant articles or industry news
56
+ - Remember and acknowledge personal events
57
+ - Facilitate introductions when mutually beneficial
58
+ - Send thank-you notes after significant interactions
59
+
60
+ ### Reactive Touches
61
+
62
+ - Respond promptly to requests from high-tier stakeholders
63
+ - Provide follow-up within committed timeframes
64
+ - Acknowledge receipt of important communications
65
+ - Offer alternatives when unable to fulfill a request
66
+
67
+ ## Communication Matching
68
+
69
+ ### Reading the Relationship
70
+
71
+ | Signal | Interpretation | Adjust Communication |
72
+ |--------|---------------|---------------------|
73
+ | Short, direct emails | Values brevity | Keep messages concise |
74
+ | Detailed responses | Values thoroughness | Provide comprehensive context |
75
+ | Prefers phone calls | Values personal connection | Schedule calls over emails |
76
+ | Delayed responses | May be overwhelmed or low priority | Follow up gently, adjust expectations |
77
+
78
+ ## Common Pitfalls
79
+
80
+ ### Neglecting Lower-Tier Contacts
81
+
82
+ Wrong: Focus exclusively on Tier 1 stakeholders.
83
+
84
+ Right: Maintain baseline relationships across all tiers. Today's Tier 3 contact may be tomorrow's Tier 1.
85
+
86
+ ### Inconsistent Follow-Through
87
+
88
+ Wrong: Promise to send information and forget.
89
+
90
+ Right: Track every commitment in your follow-up system. Deliver on time, every time.

48
+
49
+ ### Flights
50
+
51
+ - Book 2-3 weeks in advance for domestic, 4-6 weeks for international
52
+ - Prefer direct flights; connections add risk
53
+ - Morning flights for same-day meetings
54
+ - Maintain loyalty program consistency
55
+
56
+ ### Hotels
57
+
58
+ - Proximity to meeting locations is priority one
59
+ - Consistent chain for loyalty points accumulation
60
+ - Late check-out requests when departure is afternoon
61
+ - Confirm WiFi quality for remote work needs
62
+
63
+ ### Ground Transportation
64
+
65
+ - Pre-book car services for airport transfers
66
+ - Rideshare as backup; never sole plan for critical timing
67
+ - Rental cars only when multiple site visits required
68
+ - Account for traffic patterns at destination
69
+

75
+ | Hotel | Folio with itemized charges | Nightly rate cap per city |
76
+ | Meals | Itemized receipt + attendees | Per diem or per-meal cap |
77
+ | Ground Transport | Receipt + route | Reasonable/actual |
78
+ | Incidentals | Receipt | Daily cap |
79
+
80
+ ## Contingency Planning
81
+
82
+ ### Flight Disruption
83
+
84
+ - Alternative flight options pre-researched (next 2 flights)
85
+ - Airline status number saved for priority rebooking
86
+ - Video conference backup for critical meetings
87
+ - Hotel extension option confirmed
88
+
89
+ ### Health/Safety
90
+
91
+ - Travel insurance details accessible
92
+ - Nearest hospital/urgent care identified
93
+ - Pharmacy locations noted
94
+ - Emergency contacts list (local + home office)
95
+
96
+ ### Technology
97
+
98
+ - Chargers and adapters packed
99
+ - Mobile hotspot available
100
+ - Critical documents accessible offline
101
+ - VPN configured for hotel WiFi
102
+
103
+ ## Common Pitfalls
104
+
105
+ ### No Contingency Plan
106
+
107
+ Wrong: Book one flight, one hotel, assume everything works.
108
+
109
+ Right: Pre-research alternative flights, confirm flexible hotel booking, have video conference backup for critical meetings.
110
+
111
+ ### Missing Details
112
+
113
+ Wrong: Itinerary says "Meeting at 3 PM."
114
+
115
+ Right: Itinerary includes address, contact person, phone number, purpose, and travel time from previous location.
