I think the basic duty is making sure the boss' office runs like clockwork. So if you can manage that you're pretty much a value-add for him. This means that basically you update him on everything that's going on, you make maximum use of the little time you get with him, you run all his errands, chase up on all the people he's waiting to hear from, file his documentation properly, screen people who he can't or doesn't want to see, organise his meetings and travel for him, and basically run his office so he doesn't have concerns of things not being properly looked at without him.Hope I've answered your question for you!
