Office Dynamics often surveys managers and high-level executives as to the skills, attitudes, and behaviors that are most important for an assistant to possess. Communication skills, both oral and written, are a must-have. Technological skills are a must-have to keep up with the pace and dynamics of the job. Joan Burge.

One thing I wanted to talk about today is the many skills you develop when you work in the administrative profession. Those are all skills that transfer to your personal life and skills that you will take with you the rest of your life. This truly is very special and you have been a big part of our success.

Last week I wrote a blog post ruminating on how Executive Assistants are the human equivalent of a Slinky. I was looking forward to using to promote my blog post on social media.

Whether you leave a job by choice or by being forced out, it causes stress-filled feelings. The quiet quitters do not feel empowered to assert themselves to their leaders about the root problems, so they justify their mediocre performance with thoughts such as; “ Why should I work so hard?
