This is not what was presented to me.
Office Manager:
If they tell you it's great it's not really, you're going to have to fix it.
October 2015
Delegate! You can't do it all!
Office Manager:
Put the right people in the right positions. Play to their strentghts not their weaknesses.
October 2015
Communication is Key.
Office Manager:
I find managing an administrative support employee very challenging in my position, where I am burdened with the responsiblity for the employee's performance but afforded very little authority over the employee. I have learned that fostering open communication with the employee is essential to maintaining a productive working relationship with them. It has been my experience that whenever I allow open and frequent communications with the employee who I am managing to lapse due to my own natural reticence or my demanding workload and multiple key responsibilities, it often results in diminished work performance by that employee and poor morale in our working relationship.
October 2015
Organisation.
Office Manager:
Be as organised as possible. Write a note rather than trying to remember and label everything.
