Between email, virtual Assistants, palm pilots, high speed Internet connections and a host of other technological marvels, executives mistakenly believe they are more independent than ever – making their own travel plans, faxing their own letters and scheduling their own meetings. This is a question I have been asked for years.

Below is the office professionals code of conduct. I will manage the tasks and projects set before me appropriately so that deadlines are met. I will communicate effectively and assertively so that there is a clear understanding of what is required and requested. Look into purchasing an all-in-one fax, printer, and copier.

Some managers feel that they would do the project themselves just so they know it will get done their way. In an effort to curb the constant interruptions by your supervisor who is inquiring about your status on a project, give him constant updates so that he can be assured that you are in the process of completion. Ask questions.

Did you ask a co-worker to help you on a project and got the feeling that they really didn’t want to help you? Ask for input/suggestions If possible, before making a request ask for some input on how the project or task can be completed more efficiently. Look into purchasing an all-in-one fax, printer, and copier.

Listen with empathy not sympathy and be assertive in your response. In other words, provide them frequent updates before they have to ask where you are on the project. Finally, give assurance that the project will be completed by the deadline (while giving updates until completion). Let them have their words. Do not interrupt.
