Administrative Assistant Skills
Admins are the glue of an office. Master procedures, multitasking, travel, and executive support.
Learning objectives
- Prioritize competing requests calmly.
- Coordinate complex travel end-to-end.
Step-by-step
1. Office procedures
Document every recurring task in a shared SOP. New hires shouldn't learn from scratch.
2. Multitasking is triage
You can't do two things at once — you can only switch fast. Triage constantly: what breaks if I don't do this next?
3. Travel
Full itinerary in one doc: flights, hotel, ground transportation, meeting locations, phone contacts, backup options for every leg.
4. Meeting prep
Attendee bios, pre-read pack, agenda, room booked, tech tested, water on the table.
Key takeaways
- Prioritize competing requests calmly.
- Coordinate complex travel end-to-end.
