SPIKES

“Conditions for excellence” Behaviors & Principles:

Interdependence Successful support systems are built on the ability to know not only how to help others, but also how and when to ask for help. In order to be successful you need to understand who you are supporting as a person. Understanding your own strengths, weaknesses and needs, as well as those of the people you support allows trust to be built through a symbiotic relationship in which you learn to work cohesively together.ExperimentationNot every human works and functions in the same way. You need to try various ways of supporting your C-Suite based on what they are needing the most help with. You serve as the right hand to make sure their day to day operations are smooth and easeful. You may also support multiple people that work in different ways with different needs, which will require you to try out a multitude of working styles. If something does not work, propose something else that might.

Abilities / Skills:

Navigation Ambiguity: You can make logical decisions with 60% of the information; knowing what questions to ask to get the job done, and when you can just make a call! You uncover issues and call out problems wherever you see them and then flag appropriately

Detail Oriented: Whether it’s formatting a document, writing an email, or planning a company event, no detail is too small!

Superb Communication You are a killer communicator — up, down and sideways! Your EQ is off the charts, and you communicate gracefully always, especially when communicating on behalf of executives you support. You never assume people can read your mind or in “between the lines.” You make your assumptions explicit and that they are the basis of your logic. You always take the time to document and “close the loop” especially when working cross functionally.

Collaboration You know how to ide and conquer and also work collaboratively between different executives and working styles (ex: between the CEO, the corporate team, and the clinic staff).Multi-taskingYou’re an excellent juggler, able to reprioritize constantly, and context-switch easily, without dropping balls or getting wires crossed.

OWNED OUTCOMES:

Calendar and Schedule Management for C-suite

• Maintain sensitive and complex calendars, book and confirm meetings, requiring coordination with the clinic, internal and external executives, and prospective job candidates
