Relationship building: Has the ability to build and maintain a network of business-related contacts which will be useful in meeting objectives. It implies an understanding of customers’ and the wider marketplace and using this knowledge to develop networks and relationships.

Results-focused: Ensuring one is a finisher as well as a starter; it involves measuring and monitoring progress and keeping an eye on the bottom line. It is important that, when the change of pace is intense, distractions do not take over, and initiatives started are completed.

Team player: Commitment to the organisation’s/department’s common goal, focusing on what is best for the business rather than what suits the individual.

Team leadership: Working with colleagues, with or without line management authority, to achieve results through enthusiasm, motivation, commitment and determination.

Strategic thinking: Ability to recognise patterns and create new concepts and models to explain situations that are conflicting. Has the ability to not only understand the conflict themselves but also present it to others using creative, conceptual and inductive reasoning.

Organisational awareness: Understands and learns the power relationships in one’s own organisation or in other organisations (customers, suppliers etc).
