Assistant, you are a leader. As an assistant, you constantly face obstacles that hold you back from accomplishing your career goals. Whether it's a job change, shifting deadlines, a micromanaging executive, a toxic co-worker, a high-pressure project, or an intense negotiation with a vendor, the administrative profession is not for the faint of heart. If you're looking to maintain the status quo and be "just an assistant," this book is not for you. But, if you want the confidence and ability to conquer the challenges that most try to avoid, then you're in the right place. The Leader Assistant outlines four pillars-embody the characteristics, employ the tactics, engage in relationships, and exercise self-care-that will help you rediscover your passion for the profession and become a confident, future-proof, game-changing Leader Assistant. If you neglect even one pillar, you'll head for burnout, stagnation, and anonymity. You are meant for so much more. Are you ready to be the Leader Assistant the world needs?

From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Kerry So there we were. Two people as different as fire and ice. There's me. A committed, head-down-no-nonsense kind of girl who just wants to make a success of her career. Then, there's him: a self-obsessed, arrogant, entitled, class A jerk who hangs around the water cooler flirting with my female colleagues. And I see them flirting right back at him. Ugh! What they see in him is beyond me. Well, beyond the hot blue eyes fringed by the thickest most luxurious jet black lashes, a classically handsome face, muscles that flex and bunch up when he rolls up his sleeves, and that flat, hard stomach (not that I've touched it or anything, but it looks hard in a t-shirt). Other than those God given privileges there's really nothing very interesting about him. Okay, I'll also admit he is very, very good at his job, which is quite annoying in itself considering how much time he spends by the water cooler. I avoid him as much as possible and I get the feeling he's doing that too. The closest I ever get to him is when he nods distantly at me whenever we find ourselves in the same space. Which, of course, is perfectly fine with me. After all, I don't like him. I'm just eternally grateful I don't have to work with him. Nothing could be worse. Then out of nowhere my father, who happens to co-own the firm with him, drops a nightmare bombshell on us. We have to work together on an important project! He seems as horrified as me at the prospect, but he doesn't walk away from the project. I want to refuse, but the project is too juicy to let him steal it away from me. I'll walk over burning coals before I'll allow him to stall my career and all my wonderful dreams. It'll be painful, but I'll grin and bear it. Closing the deal is all that matters. But now that we've started working together I got a funny feeling it's not walking on burning coals I'll have to worry about. There is a reason why my female colleagues are batting their eyelashes at him. Whenever he comes near, things start happening inside my body. Wicked things, uncontrollable wicked things... A full length steamy office standalone romance with guaranteed HEA.
