You get the idea. These are things that turn someone/business from ordinary into a star. They are even attributes we now assign to our favourite brands, treating them like trusted or respected friends.
Someone who is likable, honest, curious and thoughtful is easy to think of as gifted. This natural charisma and care is worth seeking out in the people we choose to work with.
You might be adept in one area or another, you might be raised in a culture or with parents that reinforce some of these values, but these are attitudes, and attitudes can be taught, and they can be learned.
There are 20 listed, so what percentage would you and your staff get today? And if you re- visited the list in twelve months’ time how much improvement has been made?
The question is do you care enough to take them on?
