Below are the skills and attributes of the individuals that managed me well include -

1. Openness to collaborate and help on any issues for mutual benefits and to ensure faster resolution.

2. Communication, interpersonal, presentation and networking skills

3. Desire to learn from colleagues.

4. Thinking differently on any issue/problem.

5. Focused on goals or objectives

Out of these attributes, the one I posses include - Openness to collaborate, desire to learn from colleagues and focus on goals or objectives.

The learnable traits include - Communication, interpersonal and networking skills, thinking differently and cretaively on any issue/problem. These attributes can be developed with clear focus to improve the same. While communication skils can be developed by increasing the frequency of communication and learning from mistakes, thinking differently on every issue rather than following the routine process blindly is also important.
