Since I could only vote for one I went with moral integrity. However, good interpersonal skills are just as important. Personally, I believe that being an outstanding person of character and knowing social etiquette are the most important aspects to being a good employee. Second in line is just showing up on time ready to work, eager to learn and concentrating on the task at hand. The skills and book learning will follow these two character traits. Having said this, the moral compass of our society is in the gutter, social skills are non-existant, the entertainment industry has replaced the desire to learn with the concept of the current population wanting to always be entertained. Most bosses these days are deranged, delusional, self-centered, all-about-me, how-can-I-get mine, how-can-I-put-you-down and run-all-over-you mentality. This is the generation that is training the younger generation that is coming into the work force. Praise the Lord I am retired. Come quickly Lord, come quickly.
