Four Traits of Great Employees

The American Management Association recently cites 4 skills that research have found to be most important in great employees: The association’s survey of about 800 managers and executives found that senior leaders value what the group calls the “Four Cs”: Critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity. 
Those are also the kinds of skills that are critical for startups, where your survival can depend on how quickly you can adapt and innovate.

And how best to achieve these skills? Coaching and mentoring were seen as the best approaches.
Thank-you American Management Association, for saying what we coaches have been saying and doing for years! See article:
