What do you need to succeed?

If you have been working in the administrative field for a few years, you know how dramatically your role has changed. Today's administrative workers bear little resemblance to the secretaries of the past. Administrative staff in many offices are handling a wide range of responsibilities previously restricted to managers, such as hiring and training new staff, making decisions about key corporate purchases, managing projects, and supervising the work of others.

CareerAbility©: Skills Office Professionals Need to Succeed in the 21st Century will help you to understand how your work is changing and how you need to evolve and change with it.

Office professionals today are expected to be a Jack (or Jill) of all trades, to be a project manager, software expert, and planner extraordinaire, all rolled into one. And you don't need a crystal ball to predict that things are going to continue changing and that many office professionals will continue to boldly go where no secretary has gone before. CareerAbility©: Skills Office Professionals Need to Succeed in the 21st Century outlines the key skills administrative workers need to be able to do well if they want to succeed in the workplace of the future. These critical skills include the ability to

  1. Communicate and manage relationships productively with co-workers, managers, and customers.
  2. Get your job done efficiently and effectively.
  3. Take care of yourself and maintain peak energy in order to do what you need to do in these turbulent times.
