- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Those assistants who are beyond Sue France’s The Definitive Personal Assistant & Secretarial Handbook will find The Definitive Executive Assistant and Managerial Handbook a good book to read next as they advance on the corporate ladder. This book combines an introductory business management course with an introductory psychology course. Although I didn’t like it as much as The Definitive Personal Assistant & Secretarial Handbook, it is still a small, first step into thinking and acting like a manager. I recommend it.
