Wisdom Words

Recently, more than 43,000 executives were asked to list the most important virtues they look for in a key staff member. Their number one answer might surprise you. They were asked, "What separates an exceptional employee from an average one?" What virtues would they seek and encourage in employees and in themselves to help their companies succeed?"
