Executive assistants must be mature and professional enough to handle work pressure. They should be the first person to understand what the company and the managers are dealing, In this case you will be able to understand what they are going through and control your emotion towards it. 

Being mature is really necessary in all aspect and dimension when it regards to work with other people specially for demanding managers, because matured individual can manage / control their behavior to meet the harmonious relationship. Thick skin will not have a big impact on this situation.

I agree, because Executive Assistants and Secretaries are the one who will face the different attitude, personalities and moods of the manager, you as a assistant or secretary should be mature enough to handle work pressure in order for the job to be done and activities more functional.

I agree to be in that position you should be open to all criticism. Being an open-minded in different circumstances. Flexible to handle the mood swing and have an attitude of empathy because you will need to consider the approach to your demanding boss and same time your approach to your team that applied you're called of duty in dealing with them based on the request or instruction given by your superior in urgent basis.
