There is usually an answer if you look for it or speak to others on your team or in your network of acquaintances. Sometimes deadlines are exaggerated and if you talk to your boss you may find that the real deadline is further out, but if it cant be moved, why not look to your team members for help?

I mentioned this to our team of admins at one of our meetings so when one of my co-workers found out how to do something they thought to share it with the team. I might be doing something that works really great, but just assume others know about it so dont say anything to anyone.

It can also improve team work and general office dynamics. If you dont have that in your office, why not suggest it to the other assistants? Having a buddy can take some of the stress off and give you assurance that you have someone you can depend on.

This can also be a good time to strengthen your relationship with your team members. It doesnt have to be a long conversation, just a short introduction and if you work in a large company you might want to say which department you work in. It is nice to have that outside-of-work social connection to make working with someone more pleasant.

I recently went on a professional development day and one of the speakers spoke about the importance of respect for our co-workers and team members and how that should be reflected in our communications with them. Or at least that is what happens to me.

I think it is preferable for those who do set it aside to include all support staff as most offices now work in teams and everyone should be rewarded for a job well done. Is your office doing anything for Administrative Professionals Day?

This is where a strong assistant team is nice to have. Some situations however need to be kept in-house and only those who are involved would benefit from discussing it and understand what it was about. Since our positions are so similar, it is to each others benefit to work together and help each other.

The best situation is if you work together as a team, but how can you get there? You are not doing yourself a favour because believe me, being a micro manager is hard work. You feel you have to do everything yourself and you can easily burn out.

A smile and a pleasant word can go a long way to building a strong team and good working relationships. Try not to forget the art of conversation and communicating face to face in your office business dealings. Why do we feel we have to immediately answer every e-mail that comes our way?

I find communicating with your boss about how you are following up and what system you are using will help in how you work together as a team. They will have confidence that you have a plan and that things wont slip through the cracks and will be able to relax and let you do your job.
