They feel they have been managing calendars or planning meetings forever so why pay attention. For 28 years, I have been teaching assistants to pay attention to the fundamentals such as meeting planning, travel planning, calendar maintenance, organizational skills, follow-up systems, time management, and communications.

The meeting is typically a way to evaluate the past year’s project management, acknowledge achievements, receive valuable feedback for performance improvement and create new goals for continued productivity. Discuss the importance of a calendar time block for your manager to focus on emails, presentations, budget, etc.

Since supporting multiple managers, I have enjoyed strengthening my working relationships with other managers. There are days when I have 15 calendars open on my computer in an effort to schedule meetings with elected officials, developers, executive team members, staff, and members of the general public.

There are 5 core systems I encourage assistants to look at first: Time and Task Management. Project Management. Process your emails OUT of your inbox and into a TASK or CALENDAR appointment so you get them into your system for follow up, tracking, and completion. Filing – paper and digital. Travel Planning.
