Description
You're an administrative assistant at the
corporate headquarters of King's Stores Company,
a chain of retail stores, and report to Maxine
Washington, Merchandising Manager. Recently, you
were disappointed when Maxine turned you down
for a promotion. During a meeting with Maxine,
you'll have the opportunity to find out to why
she didn't promote you. You'll need to listen
actively and effectively to her constructive
criticism. Also, you will need to deal with this
criticism like a professional. After the
meeting, maintaining a positive attitude and
avoiding the influence of negative people are
among the challenges you'll face. If you take
Maxine's advice and successfully improve your
skills, you'll then try to establish a
partnership with her. This will involve
effectively pitching your partnership proposal.
If she agrees to the proposal, you'll then have
to implement the partnership plan. Also, as
Maxine's partner, you'll need to represent her
with confidence and authority when she's not in
the office. This simulation is based on the
Advanced Skills for Administrative Support
series and contains links to the following
SkillSoft courses: ADM0111, ADM0112, ADM0113,
ADM0114.
