Critical Thinking For Administrative Professionals

According to the most recent ‘Employment Outlook,’ by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, the overall employment of administrative and
executive assistants is expected to decline by 17 percent between
2016 to 2026. This rather gloomy employment outlook however also
comes with some very good news for you. There will be increased
reliance on, and greater rewards for the remaining smaller cadre
of administrative professionals, providing they have a particular
set of skills and abilities. What are those skills and abilities?

According to the research conducted by the Association of American
Colleges and Universities two of the top three most important and
required competencies will be ‘Critical thinking and analytical reason-
ing,’ and ‘Ethical judgment and decision-making.’ These are the vital
skills that I will teach you in this book.
