The most productive teams and executives all have one thing in common: effective collaboration. Yet collaborating using technology can still be a challenge for some team members, depending on their age, experience, and comfort level with technology. That’s where admins are uniquely positioned to help bridge the gap.
If you’re not sure how to get comfortable with the technology yourself, this infographic, An Admin’s Guide to Using New Tech Tools, highlights my strategy for adopting new technology. I also read a lot of technology articles and blogs to help shorten my learning curve on new apps or software that I haven’t fully tested yet.
We can view technology as intimidating, or we can choose to embrace it and learn how it can facilitate communication and collaboration on our teams. This week, I’m sharing some technology tools for working with your virtual teams. And we’re offering tips on our Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages for how to improve collaboration with your executive and team – whether they’re right down the hall or half a world away.
Supporting your administrative success,
Julie Perrine
