are the best administrative profes-
sional anyone could ask for.
But, are you the best colleague?
Here's a quiz to validate if you
deserve the Best Colleague Ever

some behaviours. Assign one point
per behaviour.

I am confident; I know when to
intervene or not, and when to turn
to others.
I am discreet; I mind my own
business and can keep matters
confidential.
I am punctual; I deliver my work
on time, arrive on time and I do
not hog time.
I am open-minded; I have an
empathetic perspective and willing
to learn.
I am polite; I recognize the impor-
tance of: "Hello, Please, Thank
you, You are welcome and I am
sorry".
2) I am a good communicator
I accurately share knowledge,
goals and challenges, in writing
and orally.
I express myself clearly and check
the tone of my messages.
