The role that holds everything together.
WHERE IT HELPS MOST
Drafting correspondence Summarising documents before they reach your manager Turning meeting notes into actions Producing templates you reuse Formatting and tidying documents
THE HIGHEST-VALUE HABIT
Summarising anything long that arrives, with the action required stated first.
Your manager reads the summary. That is the work.
FOR MEETING NOTES
"Here are my notes. Produce: decisions made, actions with owners and dates, open questions."
Circulate within a day. Meetings whose outcomes are not recorded produce nothing.
FOR TEMPLATES
Build one for every letter you send repeatedly.
That is the compounding time saving in this role.
WHAT TO ALWAYS CHECK
Names, dates, figures Any commitment in a letter going out in someone else's name
THAT LAST POINT
You are drafting for someone else's signature. Errors become theirs.
CHECK YOUR EMPLOYER'S POLICY
Before putting company material into any tool.
