Management Skills, Minute Taking and Report Writing for Executive Secretaries, PA’s and Frontline Staff

Today’s professional ‘PA / Secretary / Frontline staff’ is expected to assume management and technical responsibilities, often in the absence of their manager. They are expected to co-ordinate peers, supervise, identify and handle both decisions and crises.
