- Making the transition to management (for editors)
- Editors are professionals (for non-editors): Motivation, autonomy, professional development, professional standards and ethics
- Helping your team understand their role in the organization
- Aligning with senior management expectations, or, Why do documents need to be edited and why does editing take so long?
- Balancing tensions and resolving conflicts between professional roles and organizational expectations
- Selling your organization on the value editing adds and promoting “upstream” quality control
- Serving your organization by adding value such as plain language and web content
