• Keen desire to learn. We are constantly aiming to improve our work and ourselves, by constantly learning we are able to do this. 
• Self motivated. Even if a decision turns out to be wrong, this is better than being indecisive. Trying and learning from failures is hugely valuable. 
• Knowing when to ask for help. Try for as long as you can but if you get stuck, ask for help. Your teammates are here to support you and your development. 
• Critical thinking. Be able to base decisions on the information available, not just blindly accepting solutions without investigation.
