- Honest - Does this need explaining? Nothing destroys trust like not dealing with people in an honest and fair manner.
- Dependable - Make your commitments, be there when needed.
- Confident - People are more apt to follow you if you appear confident. Show confidence in your team.
- Courageous - This goes with "Do the Right Thing", also goes well with being "Transparent". It is hard to tell the customer that you are late, or to tell the employee that they are not meeting expectations. You should also be courageous enough to stick to your convictions, or try something new.

- Patient - This is one I have trouble with the odd time, but be patient to answer their questions, help them with a new technology, or to understand a new requirement.
- Determined - Get the job done.

I really like the Humour attribute. You do need a strong sense of homour, if you don't have it, you will explode with stress :)
