3. You want people who produce when it is needed most.
4. You want people with high intelligence.
5. You want people with a sense of urgency.
6. You want people who are focused and not easily distracted.
7. You want individual profit centers.  They generate revenue.
8. You want people who can move the organization forward.
9. You want people with endurance.  They are always available.
10. You want people with relational intelligence.
11. You want people who have earned respect because they have shown respect.
12. You want continual learners.  They are humble enough to know they do not know everything.
13. You want people who finish what they start.
14. You want people who know their role and fit well in your system.
15. You want people who are outliers.  If you can find them, they have rare skills.
16. You want people with a deep passion for your organization and what it provides.
17. You want people who not only think outside the box but think about new ways to use the resources found inside the box.

24. You want people who make other people better.
