ADMINISTRATOR

 WHAT IS AN
ADMINISTRATOR?
An administrator is a person who makes sure an
organization is running at full capacity. Their
particular roles depend on the form of company,
organization, or agency they operate in. An
administrator may be someone assigned to oversee
an organization for its affairs.
 AN ADMINISTRATOR AS
AN ORGANIZER
Administrators formulate short-and long-term strategies that set specific
priorities and objectives. To put it another way, they strive to get the
organization where it needs to go. To ensure that these plans work, the
planner must above all understand how, where, and who of the program
as a whole. The functions of the administrators are essential to the
organization they operate. Their roles usually involve a wide variety of
duties including filing and administration.
 Clerical Level Administrator

An administrator may be someone in charge of the smooth and effective

operation of a single office. Their responsibilities include handling all the
paperwork and will typically report inside the office to all individuals.
Their role is likely to depend upon what the duties of the other colleagues
are.
 WHAT MAKES A GOOD
ADMINISTRATOR?
To be a good administrator, a person must be:

a. Deadline-driven and possess a high level of organization.

b. Capable of balancing multiple tasks simultaneously and delegate when appropriate.

c. Capable of planning and have the ability to think strategically.

d. An excellent communicator, both in person and in writing.

e. Always looking for opportunities to improve productivity in the organization.

 SKILLS OF AN EFFECTIVE
ADMINISTRATOR
Ability implies a capacity that can be
created, not inherently inborn, and that is
expressed in output, not mere potential.
Therefore, the main ability requirement
must be successful action under various
circumstances.
Three Basic Developable Skills of Administrators
It is assumed here that an administrator is one who:
a. directs the activities of other persons and
b. undertakes the responsibility for achieving certain objectives
through these efforts.

Within this definition, successful administration appears to rest on

three basic skills, which we will call:

1. Technical
2. Human and
3. Conceptual
 TECHNICAL SKILL
Technical skills require an understanding and expertise of a particular form of
operation, particularly one involving methods, processes, procedures, or techniques.
It requires advanced expertise, analytical skill within that field, and facility in the use
of the particular discipline's methods and techniques.

HUMAN SKILL
Human skill is the ability of the executive to function efficiently as a member of the
community and create cooperative effort within the team which he leads. Since
technical ability is primarily about working with things, processes or physical objects,
human ability is primarily about working with people.
CONCEPTUAL SKILL
Conceptual competence requires the ability to see the organization as a whole; it
includes understanding how the organization's different functions depend on one
another, and how all the others are influenced by changes in any component.
