Ability to Learn
Being both willing and excited about learning is necessary for success, but it is not sufficient.
Software Fluency
Tenacity
This never goes out of style for a network administrator. 
Attention to Detail
Outages of any sort are no longer acceptable. 
Responsiveness
While eliminating problems is certainly the goal, it is not always possible. 
Recognizing IT’s Role
A relatively small percentage of companies are in the business of providing IT services.
Understanding the Business
In order for network administrators to be able to demonstrate business value they need to have a good understanding of the company’s key business processes.
Business Acumen
Getting buy-in from senior management requires more than just detailed technical knowledge.
