In search of an administrator

Abstract

When you go in search of an administrator, set your aims as high as possible, but remember that what constitutes a good administrator in another organization may not be exactly the person who fits best into your organization—analyze your own needs as closely as your candidates' administrative qualities, and determine the mix of these characteristics that will work best for you: intelligence, imagination, technical knowledge, verbal skill, humor, adaptability, ambition, aggressiveness, and discipline.
