Office Dynamics

DECEMBER 4, 2011

As an administrative professional, strategic thinking, advance planning and project management are foundational to my success every day. It’s much easier to become involved in a project early on, “out the gate” so I can work my magic, preventing mishaps along the way. Instead of a paper towel, I want to be salt and pepper.

Tara and I learned a LOT from this interview about considerations we should all realize when we are using the space, electricity, and wifi at cafes, coffeehouses, and restaurants for business purposes. Tips on deciding whether or not to hire a coach (more on this in August) and why you need to use a contract for every project.

I use Asana for task and project management, and the app is on my iPhone and iPad, so I can see all of my tasks at a glance and add to them if needed. Enjoy 1 or 2 delicacies when you're in those 5 Star restaurants, and balance it out with clean eating in between. Use a good task tool. The data package is worth it.

They need project management skills and a keen eye toward the goals of the executive, as well as the wider company. Guess who is asked to find the hottest restaurant tables or tickets in town. While an assistant tends to be task-focused and work with a to-do list, an EA tends to be more big-picture focused.

Or anytime you are out and about a party, everyone there is a potential client. The host greeted us by name and asked for everyone else's first names too. Timing is everything.

And passive-aggressive people try to have it both ways, giving in to others but then doling out punishment in sneaky ways—“forgetting” to follow through, backstabbing or sabotaging projects, for example. Joy then could have reminded him that, as a contractor, he works for her, the project manager. Learn it from the inside out.
