“We use the title administrative assistant so liberally that it almost diminishes the responsibilities of true administrative assistants. I advocate taking a deeper dive into how you assign these titles and making sure they are truly appropriate for the responsibilities that you are assigning to your admin.”
This week I had the absolute pleasure to Have A Seat with Jamie Vanek, who not only is a successful construction industry executive and author, but she is also a strong advocate for small business executives to better align with their administrative colleagues to achieve optimal success.
Jamie has designed a framework for doing just that in her new book, Buried in Business, Find Freedom by Unlocking the Power of Your Admin Team, due to launch in the Fall of 2022.
This is a can't miss episode for executives and administrators alike.
If you find my content of value, would you consider supporting Have A Seat by Buying Me A Coffee?
It's quick and simple and truly appreciated!
Thank you for listening!
Construction Executive / Author / Mom / Survivor
Jamie Vanek made the unexpected career leap from teaching to construction in 2007 and discovered a passion for project management and team leadership.
As a female leader in the construction industry, Jamie sees stereotypes and stigmas around supporting roles every day. She’s been featured in Construction Business Owner, Construction Executive, ThriveGlobal, and other digital publications about breaking glass ceilings and leading in a male-dominated industry. Jamie has taken a deep dive into small business experiences, stories, statistics, and strategies to formulate a framework for managing administrative functions.
Jamie is passionate about breaking down barriers and creating opportunities. It’s time to rethink administrative support. By clarifying the admin functions and redefining traditional roles, leaders can leverage the potential in their businesses to grow stronger. This is why she wrote her book, Buried in Business, Find Freedom by Unlocking the Power of Your Admin Team.
