Building a Partnership with Your Boss: A Take-Charge Assistant Book (Take-Charge Assistant S)

The Boss and The Assistant. Its a basic business relationship and the structure is easy: The Boss gives orders and The Assistant obeys. But there’s an alternative thats better for both assistant and boss and its called partnership. In this eye-opening book assistants learn how they can break out of old narrow roles and enjoy working with a boss instead of for a boss. This change liberates creativity and self-confidence and reveals hidden skills and interests. It also makes an assistant more valuable (and promotable) to the boss and the company. Readers learn specific techniques for how to: * initiate the transition to a partnering relationship * understand their bosss work style and adapt to it -- without losing their sense of self * become a proactive worker who takes responsibility for mistakes and credit for successes
