Loyalty is important, especially in a founding team.
Compassion - for both your teammates and yourself.

Empathy is such a good one! Work ethic is a quality I value hugely in my teammates. Being surrounded by people working hard always encourages me to do more of my best work. Great question!
@shannon_maloney ah yes I agree - good work ethic means so much! You really feel like a team when its there, rallying together.
Reliability
Encouraging - I think the ability to give a team mate support and confidence is extremely important

"Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don't have the first, the other two will kill you."
