The "space" that you are talking about, I would call it "Autonomy" on job.

 

Autonomy is also a kind of strategic mind in the managers administration of the organizations and the workers.

 

All the time we need to report to someone, but sometimes happens that we don´t have the chance to make more valued contributions. This lack of autonomy will make us lose interest of the tasks that we are developing and at the end our work. In these circumstances the company, in my opinion, loses what could win with intelligence, motivation and innovating thoughts from that person in such situation.

 

Usually leaders/administration have afraid to give autonomy because they confuse it with "power". And the workers several times have afraid to assume it because sometimes the path for the decisions is unknown; mostly because don't know how to handle with administrations/leaders reactions.

 

I think is too important, in any organization, give the needed autonomy for them develop their work, be responsible for their acts. This will make them have more (auto)confidence, more motivation, and, for sure, the work will have more "value", more significant to achieve the desired goals.

 

It´s important, like Mr Fazlur Rahman wrote, check if there are implemented procedures in the organization; that need to be aligned with the tasks/activities that need to be developed. If the organization (administrators, leaders, managers, workers in general..) will be working with the same strategical alignment and with the constant changing of information, I think this it will make easier for each one of that chain accompany the tasks and evaluate them; and even participating on those.

 

Reports, diary tasks, informal communication, approved formal plans, established internal documents known by all, a good internal communication....are some good valued resources that will make it easier and flexible that this autonomy will happen and, at the end, all have "space" to give their best value contribute for the organization.

In small organizations, admin does a lot of other work like procurement, HR related functions, and communications; in addition to their own core functions like office  facility operations, security, travel and transport, mail room operation, equipment maintenance, canteen operation, etc.

 

 

When it comes to set up a procedure for the whole office, Admin. may DRAFT Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). However, all stakeholders (Admin. Marketing,  Sales, Production etc.) shall review and work together to finalize the DRAFT  SOP for approval of the Board or a committee.

That can be done by empowering the administrative department to implement the orders and procedures. But we shouldn't forget that periodic reviews must be done, that to help employees know where they failed or succeed and what procedures to be used and which to exclude from the company.

In fact it's very important to give autonomy for the admin departement..but of course in the biginning they have to discusse the headlines with the leader, so many suggestions to achieve the goals should be proposed. The admin dept. Should follow  and make reports about failes and successe and also to analyze things immidiatly and to find other solutions.

In addition to the answers I would like to say that in such situation there are few scenarios:

1. Leader is the same as the manager, so the authority is mutual.

2. Leader is a separate role or party, so leadership will be just to lead the teams and management is to organize and manage.
