By acquiring the necessary skills and habits, administrative assistants can achieve greater professional success.

In Effective and Efficient Administrative Assistants, Reverend Geary Reid discusses the core responsibilities and traits of an ideal administrative assistant. In many ways, administrative assistants are responsible for the success-or failure-of any business. Often, they are the link between various actors in a business; consequently, they must be effective communicators and exceptional planners. Their responsibilities include scheduling meetings, responding to emails, introducing new employees to the workplace, and arranging their team leader's calendar. Because of this, it is crucial for a good administrative assistant to be organized, independent, friendly, and communicative. To achieve optimum success in their field, administrative assistants must cultivate all of these traits-and more.

Though people have traditionally viewed administrative assistants as disposable or superfluous, this is certainly not the case. Administrative assistants are key members of any organization, and their employers must treat them with the respect, care, and consideration that they deserve. Through this book, readers will learn about the main responsibilities of an administrative assistant, as well as the skills, habits, and experience that all successful administrative assistants must attain.
