Achieving the Vision… Staff need to share management vision.
The Senior Administrative Assistant will set both personal and departmental targets to meet these goals.
Departmental targets need teamwork and individuals to meet their own personal targets.
![Page 14: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

The Mission Statement A mission statement is a short statement of the aims
of an organisation, and how it will achieve these aims.
It contains the values of the organisation eg “eco-friendly” or “fair-trade” policies. This may improve the organisation’s image.
It will assist decision-making. It provides "the framework or context within which the organisation’s strategies are formulated.”
It has the power to attract custom and helps employees see their purpose in the business.

![Page 24: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What is Time Management?
Time management is not about how much time you spend, but how it is spent.
![Page 25: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Time Stealers – Reducing Effectiveness Interruptions eg telephone or visitors Meetings – set time limits Taking on too much – delegate Acting without complete information Crisis Management – not having plans Unclear or Poor Communication Inability to say “NO” Desk Stress – clutter Procrastination
![Page 26: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Effects of Poor Time Management Staff become stressed and absence
levels increase Poor productivity – work is not
produced as efficiently or to the right quality
Morale will decrease – low job satisfaction
Increase in accidents or unnecessary incidents
Increased costs to management
![Page 27: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Managing Time Effectively Record appointments in desk/e-Diary Access email only at certain times in the day Good File Management Delegate tasks to others “Do Not Disturb” Time Group Jobs – avoid unnecessary journeys At end of each day – tidy desk and prepare a
priorities list Allocate tasks as: must be done/needs
action/delegate
![Page 28: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Delegation Develops staff abilities Improves motivation Saves manager time, to carry out
important tasks
But this is difficult Can you do the job better yourself? High standards? Afraid of losing control?
![Page 29: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

![Page 42: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
A Leadership Story: A group of workers and their leaders are set a task of
clearing a road through a dense jungle on a remote island to get to the coast where an estuary provides a perfect site for a port.
The leaders organise the labour into efficient units and monitor the distribution and use of capital assets – progress is excellent. The leaders continue to monitor and evaluate progress making adjustments along the way to ensure the progress is maintained and efficiency increased wherever possible.
Then, one day amidst all the hustle and bustle and activity, one person climbs up a nearby tree. The person surveys the scene from the top of the tree.
![Page 43: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
A Leadership Story: And shouts down to the assembled
group below…“Wrong Way”
(Story adapted from Stephen Covey (2004) “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” Simon & Schuster).
“Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things”
(Warren Bennis and Peter Drucker)
![Page 44: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Leadership A leader is someone who influences
others towards the achievement of goals.
A good leader will motivate people to willingly work towards their goals.
![Page 45: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Set a clear vision or goals for the team Meet the needs of the team (information,
communication etc) Meet the needs of individuals (support,
training etc) Meet the needs of the task (resources,
team skills etc) Liaise between the team, management
and other work areas.
![Page 46: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Different Styles of LeadershipAutocratic – This type of leader takes decisions without consultation and has very little regard for the thoughts and opinions of other colleagues or the workforce; usually found in traditional organisations.
![Page 47: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Different Styles of LeadershipLaissez-Faire – This is the “let it be” leader who prefers the workforce to take their own decisions. This type of leadership can be useful in business where creative ideas are important but it relies heavily on good team work.
![Page 48: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Different Styles of LeadershipDemocratic– This type of leader is much more likely to be consultative and to encourage participative decision making.
![Page 49: Higher Administration Administration Services Outcome 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c875503460f9493ebe9/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
John Adair’s Theory of LeadershipThis model encourages a flexible approach to leadership, with the idea that there is no ‘right’ style of leadership.
