Secretaries are said to play the role of communication managers because they are responsible for communicating all the details to the relative higher authorities. Your answer must focus on all the key factors such as adaptability, good organizational skills, good verbal skills, good written communication skills, ability to take initiative, integrity, reliability as well as other such skills. Try to give examples demonstrating the practical application of some of these key points.
