What qualities does a good administrator possess?

The single most important quality of a good administrator, I believe, is adaptability. Ironically, this is often not a natural disposition for people drawn to business administration. Combine adaptability with those key organisational skillsets and you have a really effective way of working. As business administrators, our job is to make the lives of others flow smoothly, efficiently and successfully. This often requires being innovative and open to new ways of doing things, being responsive to change and quick to learn.

Attention to detail is also an incredibly important quality for business administrators We act as the sieve between the outside world and the business. All the important information needs to be captured. But the noise, distractions, and irrelevancies need to be left at the door. Thi s is also applied within the internal workings of the business. Attention to detail and capable judgement are your assets to the business.
