A secretary or administrative assistant supports management by handling various administrative tasks like organizing meetings, maintaining records, and communicating on behalf of executives. Good secretaries are methodical, well-organized, objective, able to take accurate notes, ensure all necessary materials are distributed, work well with managers, and are knowledgeable about procedures. Main responsibilities include effectively organizing meetings, maintaining records and legal compliance, and facilitating communication and correspondence. Great secretaries are organized, professional, solve problems rather than dwelling on them, and remember to not overburden their managers with minor issues. The key differences between a regular secretary and an executive secretary are their basic skills, degree of responsibility, education/training levels, and higher salaries for executive secretaries.
