I hear it all the time: “I wish I could be a great leader like that.” Or, “I sure would like to have the kind of business success that person has.” What they really mean, if you cut right down to it, is that they would like to reap the benefits of business and leadership enjoyed by the person they are talking about. That is what they really want. They want the money, the recognition, the authority and the control.

Nice people don’t always finish first. The more money at stake, the more cutthroat a business is likely to be. All the hedge fund managers in Greenwich, Connecticut, probably didn’t pay for their Ferraris by being nice to people. But what works on Wall Street—at least some of the time—is probably not going to work on Main Street. And Kansas-based Advisors Excel built its business the old-fashioned way—with honesty and care not only for its clients, but its employees, too.

Every administrative professional needs a procedures manual. Procedures are documented processes that explain exactly how to complete a task. They help you provide consistent customer service, make it easier for you to delegate tasks, and showcase the value you bring to your executive and organization. When I talk about procedures, most people think of a physical binder sitting on a desk or bookshelf.

Employees file their W-4s and then forget about them. Whether they know it or not, when you withhold employees’ income taxes based on those W-4s, you’re introducing them to the wacky world of individual income taxation.
