To be a good administrator in any company Discipline, Communication and Organization skills for me are the most important. Because if you have these everything else will follow. Being able to follow, to listen and organize everything will make any work/tasks easier and commendable.

The first and foremost thing before skills is to be completely fresh and active from mind, so that one can have a complete environment to show skills. The first skill to be required is to have a high communication skill because an employee is a person who represents the company. The second skill is the technology skill, through which one can work efficiently. The third skill includes time management; how quickly and efficiently one can work. Then4th skill is to have a passion for completing a given task more attractively and quickly. Then other skills include problem solving, planning, giving new and fresh ideas and loyalty with the work. If a person got these skills then undoubtedly he would be qualified for secretarial/administrative position.
