What is the common man's notion of an administrator ?
Answer: B
To the common man an administrator is someone in a high position exercising control.
In everyday usage the word means the person at the top who directs others, takes decisions and holds authority over an office: the 'boss' rather than the clerk. Textbooks start from this popular notion before giving the technical meaning of administration as the co-operative effort of everyone in an organisation.
Technical skills or technical knowledge describe a specialist or technician, not the popular image of an administrator. Performing operational activities describes the operative staff who carry out the work, which is the opposite of the control the common man associates with an administrator.
