Personal Attributes That Matter to Employers

There's a lot more to selecting the right person for the job than experience, skills, and education.

Courage: The ability to take constructive action in the face of fear or danger. To stand firm as a person of character and do what is right, especially when it is unpopular or puts you at risk.

Honor: Demonstrating good character and integrity; acting honestly.

Humility: To remember that your ignorance is far greater than your knowledge. To give praise to those who earn it.

Integrity: To tell the truth, expose untruths, and keep your promises.

Initiative: Exercising the power, energy, or ability to organize or accomplish something.

Justice: Upholding what is fair, just, and right. To stand for equally applied rules that respect the rights and dignity of all, and make sure everyone obeys them.

Moderation: The avoidance of excesses or extremes.

Perseverance: To continue in a task or course of action or hold to a belief or commitment, in spite of obstacles or difficulty. To remember how many before you chose the easy path rather than the right one, and to stay the course.

Respect: Honor or admiration of someone or something. To protect your mind and body as precious aspects of your identity. To extend that protection to every other person you encounter.

Responsibility: Acting on good judgment. Striving to know and do what is best, not what is most popular. To be trustworthy for making decisions in the best long-term interests of the team.

Resourcefulness: Taking constructive action in difficult situations quickly and imaginatively.

Self-Governance: To be self-controlled, avoiding extremes, and to not be excessively influenced or controlled by others.
