In many organizations, administration is still seen as a homogeneous role, but the reality is far more complex. Administrators range from those supporting daily operations to strategic leaders guiding executive teams. The outdated perception of administration as a “one-size-fits-all” job limits career growth and fails to recognize the diverse skills and expertise administrators bring to the table. The Global Skills Matrix provides a framework to distinguish these roles by level, responsibility, and impact, ensuring that administrators are valued and recognized for their contributions. It’s time to elevate the profession and open doors for more strategic, career-driven opportunities in administration.
