 Perhaps the most important aspect of being successful in business is the type of person that you are and in the type of people that you hire. By this I mean, the true type of person you are at your very core. Not the person that has been trained to give the right answers during a job interview, but the person you are AFTER the job offer.

 

All too frequently the person that is hired is actually very different from the person that shows up to work each day despite the hiring manager’s best efforts.

 

There are a number of inherent personality and behavioral traits that business people need in order to be successful. No matter what training or financial incentives are available success will never be met if you or the people on your team do not share a significant portion of the attributes that are described in this section.

 

Possessing these attributes is a cornerstone for long term success in EVERY business, and they need to be shared by all team members including the CEO or owner.

 

These attributes are universal and it is important to also build your organization around people that have these characteristics as well.
