One thing that all good administrators have in common is that they maintain flexibility and their sense of humor. Things constantly change in the workplace, and the goals of upper management change often, as well. A good administrator knows how to roll with the punches and prioritize issues that need to be addressed while remaining objective. Maintaining a sense of humor is integral to remaining flexible in the workplace, and it sets a good example to others. When unforeseen circumstances occur, keeping a sense of humor helps everyone from employees to upper management tackle the issues in a productive manner.
