Sheets, Trackers & Links

The source-of-truth files and links Shereen will maintain. Add a URL to any entry and its name becomes a live link — anything new can be added here.

Credential Transfer

Confirmation that each account and device has been transferred securely. This document deliberately contains no passwords.

This chapter holds live passwords — treat the link like a key.
Usernames, passwords and login pages can be saved here so Shereen can actually sign in. Passwords are hidden until you press Show, and are never included in the printed copy. Because they are stored in readable form, anyone who can open this page can read them — keep the link private, put the site behind a login, and rotate anything that leaks. Prefer an admin ownership transfer over sharing a password wherever the platform allows it.

Quotations

The process HQ uses to raise a quotation, and a live builder that produces a shareable link Shereen can send to a client or save as a PDF.

Process

  1. Receive request
    Log the client's requirement (item, service, quantity, deadline) and confirm scope in writing.
  2. Source pricing
    Reach out to approved vendors, gather at least two comparable quotes for goods above budget threshold.
  3. Draft quotation
    Use the HQ quotation template — apply the correct VAT/Tax, validity, and terms.
  4. Internal approval
    Route to Zain for review; any figure outside approved band goes to General Management.
  5. Send & track
    Issue to client, log the quotation number in the tracker, and follow up within the validity window.

The First Week

A five-day runway so Shereen never has to guess what comes next. Written by Fatema, in the order she would do it herself.

Day 01
Land and look around
  • Walk both floors with Fatema — HQ Seef, then HQ District.
  • Collect keys, access card, and confirm Salto gate profile is live under your name.
  • Log into the company email and the shared drive; bookmark the trackers in Chapter 04.
  • Read Chapter 02 end to end — those projects are yours from today.
Day 02
Meet the people
  • Call Khalid Khaleel (District 2) and Ahmed Abbasi (Seef Properties) to introduce yourself.
  • Say hello in person to Vicky (Seef) and Santhosh (District) — they run the floor day to day.
  • Sit with Zain for 30 minutes on approval limits and what must escalate.
  • Save every number in Chapter 06 into your phone.
Day 03
Take the trackers
  • Open the Lease Tracker and reconcile it against the Tenant Directory in Chapter 07.
  • Check the Payment Tracker for anything overdue — start with the Imen Amri update.
  • Confirm the Budget Tracker figures with Finance before touching anything.
Day 04
Run the rhythm alone
  • Do the full Daily list in Chapter 03 unassisted; Fatema observes only.
  • Handle one meeting-room booking and one member request end to end.
  • Draft one quotation using the Chapter 08 template and have Zain review it.
Day 05
Close the loop
  • Tick off any remaining credentials in Chapter 05 with IT.
  • Send your first weekly management update to Zain.
  • Turn on Edit and add your own entries and notes wherever a chapter feels thin.
  • Sign Chapter 09 once you are satisfied nothing is missing.
Ongoing
When in doubt
  • Anything about the building → District 2 / Seef Properties.
  • Anything about money → Finance, then Zain.
  • Anything about a contract → check the Lease Tracker first, then Management.
  • Anything undocumented → press Edit and write it into this handbook so the next person has it.

A Note from Fatema

The part no spreadsheet tab could hold.

Shereen — this place is easier than it looks, and better than it sounds on paper.

Everything I know about this role is now in the chapters above: the projects mid-flight, the rhythm of the week, the people who pick up when you call, the files that must never go stale. I have tried to leave nothing in my head and everything on the page.

A few things the tables cannot tell you. The members remember how you make them feel far longer than they remember a delayed invoice — so answer warmly first and solve second. Vicky and Santhosh will save you on days that go sideways; treat them as colleagues, not as help. Zain says yes far more often when the numbers arrive before the question. And when something breaks that isn't written down here, write it down here — that is the whole point of this document, and now you can, right in the page.

HQ Seef and HQ District have been mine to look after for a while now, and handing them over is the only part of leaving that I actually worried about. Seeing them go to you settles it. Be kind to the place, and it will be kind back.

Call me. Genuinely — for anything, for as long as it helps.
