Actually, only the Executive Secretary himself or herself can measure his/her success. Every person has his/her own definition of success. A successful endeavor for you may be mediocrity for another.

But you can gauge your Executive Secretary's effectiveness through these qualities: 

1. Very highly organized

2. Knows how to communicate what and when?

3. Punctual
