If you are a manager reading this blog, check off the ones that apply to your administrative partner. Excellent time management skills. But do you always “listen” or do you distract yourself with reading emails while someone is talking to you? Taking baby steps is a good way to manage a big list of “must get better at” areas.

Executives do not share necessary information with their Assistants and do not always include their Assistant in their email communications. Management and administrative support professionals, as all employees, feel like they don’t have enough hours in the day to complete their work. Employees feel time-compressed.
