    Choosing just one is hard and it really depends on what role they fill. But a critical trait for anyone I work with: high ethical standards. Naval articulates why this is so important in this 3 minute podcast.

    @rrhoover Good one - certainly lots of tech companies have fallen victim to scandals for undervaluing this!

    @nikkielizdemere yes absolutely. I've worked on teams where compassion ran low and burnout and insecurity was rife.

    Open-mindedness. Without this quality, one can't accept feedback, learn and improve.

    I think it's common goal, because people can't come together when they have different motives

    Hmm tough one - empathy is my fave but if I had to choose another I'd have to say clear, honest communication.

    @lanre_akinyemi essential! Yet hard to do it would seem.

    Honest communication when issues/blockers arise.

    I would counterintuitively say : Lazy. As the good old Bill Gates says, “I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job, because he will find an easy way to do it.”

    Empathy is such a good one! Work ethic is a quality I value hugely in my teammates. Being surrounded by people working hard always encourages me to do more of my best work. Great question!

    @shannon_maloney ah yes I agree - good work ethic means so much! You really feel like a team when its there, rallying together.

    Encouraging - I think the ability to give a team mate support and confidence is extremely important

    Integrity. Based on this quote of Warren Buffet: "Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don't have the first, the other two will kill you."
