For me it comes down to something I once heard from Coach Weiner at Toledo:
Do what you love, with the people you love, in a way that shows that love.
When I’ve worked or coached in environments where that was possible, everything else—effort, accountability, discipline—came naturally. I didn’t have to manufacture motivation or force standards. People rose because the relationships gave them a reason to.
So the attribute I’d name is: the courage to seek or build the environment where your love can actually show up in your actions.

That's a good one. Thanks for sharing.
Honesty, intigrity, empathy and listening.

Thanks, David. I also have empathy high on my list too.
