It has been five years since Lynn Walder launched her original “Administrative Title Recalibration Initiative” framework. She's proud to say that over the past three years she's witnessed new titles, broadened scopes of responsibility, and increased compensation making their way into the Administrative recruitment and business operations scaling plans across numerous industries. 

While Lynn is still frustrated at the increased use of the catch-all title of Chief of Staff (which is what prompted this Recalibration Initiative) she can still appreciate the short term positive impact behind it – where the previously stereotyped tactical 1:1 executive perk "anyone-can-do-this” role is now elevated to (and recognized as) a highly skilled and cross-functional strategic business generalist position.

Lynn is a vocal advocate of retiring the titles of Executive Assistant and Chief of Staff in order to support a more formalized, clarified (i.e. development-centric), and extended career ladder for Administrative professionals rooted in already accepted G & A structures; therefore aligning and reinforcing Administration NOT as a 1:1 siloed and title-cliffing role, but instead as a fully integrated and career-pathed BUSINESS FUNCTION.

Join us as we dive into a better understanding of Lynn's important work and why every Administrator needs to understand the inextricable link between job titling and career pathing.
