Administrative Competency Assessment

Am I A Good Assistant?

How I used an administrative competency assessment to measure my skill level in the administrative field.

Use this assessment for executive and administrative assistants as a tool to measure your skill level.

Several years ago I was preparing for my first annual review with my new executive, Joan Burge, Founder and CEO of Office Dynamics International. I wanted to be ready for anything when we sat down together to discuss my progress and my skill set as her Chief Executive Assistant.

As I was looking for some ideas on how to prepare, I came across a document that labeled and provided a measurement of the core administrative competencies. The assessment listed several main functions under each competency to measure an individual’s performance. I remembered this document from some one-on-one coaching that Joan did with her high-level executive assistant clients. She would have the assistant and the executive fill out separate assessments and they would meet afterward to discuss the ratings.

What can we do to not let bad news, whether from the media or neighbors or friends or family, drag us down leaving us with anxiousness and fear? [Read more…]
