[  The Framework](https://www.yourpeas.com/executive-leverage-framework#framework)    [Why This Matters](https://www.yourpeas.com/executive-leverage-framework#why_matters)    [Program Timeline](https://www.yourpeas.com/executive-leverage-framework#program_timeline)    [Detailed Breakdown](https://www.yourpeas.com/executive-leverage-framework#breakdown) ## The Framework This program moves through four phases, building a working structure that lasts well beyond the engagement itself. | Phase | What Happens | | --- | --- | | Assess & Identify | Understand current work habits and alignment between Executive and EA. | | Define | Clarify responsibilities, expectations, and decision-making authority. | | Establish | Build communication structures and working rhythms. | | Track | Monitor progress, consistency, and impact through the remaining weeks. | *You're here because there's likely an issue with time. So don't worry, everything will be scheduled for you at a time when you're free! Additional time is available during this program; there is flexibility in the structure as needs arise.* ## Why This Matters ##### Executives can spend up to ~20% of their time on tasks that could be delegated, creating opportunity to use time on high-value work. ##### CEOs spend ~72% of their time in meetings, increasing the need for structured coordination and prioritization support. ##### Organizations can free up 20–60% of management time by improving workflows, delegation, and operational structure. *\*Sources: McKinsey & Company – leadership time allocation research, Harvard Business Review – time management & delegation research* ## Program Timeline | **Week** | **Phase** | **Session** | **Focus** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Pre-Program | Assess & Identify | Online Alignment Survey | Executive and EA independently complete a short online survey ahead of Meeting 1. | | Week 1 | Assess & Identify | Meeting 1 — Executive & EA Insights (individual sessions, 1 hour each) | PEAS has separate discovery conversations with both the Executive and EA. | | Week 1 | Define | Meeting 2 — Findings Debrief (individual, with Executive 1-1.5 hours) | PEAS share themes, gaps, and recommended decision-authority & delegation structure with the Executive and EA, separately. | | Week 2 | Establish | Meeting 3 — Forward Planning (joint session 1-1.5 hrs) | All individuals agree on communication cadence, delegation, prioritization, and calendar structure. | | Week 3 | Establish | Pulse Check (brief, with Executive 15-30 minutes) | Scheduled temperature check on how the new structure is landing. | | Weeks 4–7 | Track | Meetings 4–7 — Weekly Progress Sessions (30 minutes each) | Review successes, surface any friction, adjust priorities week to week. | | Week 8 | Track | Meeting 8 — Wrap-Up & Next Steps (1 hour) | Assess progress against goals and agree on what continues after the program. | ## Detailed Breakdown - Phase 1: Assess & Identify — Week 1 **Deliverable:** Summary of alignment gaps between Executive and EA perspectives. **Pre-Program: Alignment Survey** Both Executive and EA (where applicable) independently complete a short survey ahead of Meeting 1, capturing how each perceives the current working relationship.

The EAvolve program is an 8-12 week engagement, designed to transform how Executives and EAs work together by strengthening the relationship, sharpening communication, and unlock the full ROI of EA support by protecting and multiplying leadership time. - Who participates in the engagement? Both the executive and their EA take part, with a blend of joint and individual sessions depending on what’s needed. - Will this make our workload heavier? No. The intention is to create clarity and reduce friction, not add tasks. Most teams experience immediate relief once systems and expectations are simplified. - How to delegate more to an Executive Assistant. Start by identifying everything you do that doesn't require you specifically, such as inbox management, scheduling, follow-ups, research, document prep. Hand those off with clear context about what you want and why, then trust the process.
