Administrative Excellence: 08. Anticipating Needs

In this Administrative Excellence: 08. Anticipating Needs course, you’ll learn that the role of an administrative assistant is to be the boss’s right-hand helper, to know what that person needs and when they need it. It may sound like you need to be psychic, but that’s not what we mean. When you learn to anticipate your boss’s needs, you’ll be well on your way to being indispensable. We’ll discuss how you can watch and observe to learn your supervisor’s way of working and specific needs, and the things you should take particular notice of in order to serve them better.

As part of our Administrative Excellence Series, this course helps you understand how having an open line of communication, staying abreast of daily schedules and knowing how your organization works will provide the tips you need to always be one step ahead. You’ll discover that taking the initiative takes a load off your boss while adding a valuable skill set to your resume.
