The top 3 qualities, even amidst the economic downturn, that were cited in the poll are:

  • Creativity at 60%
  • Integrity at 52%
  • Global Thinking at 35%

Other cuts of the data include a resounding 88% of those interviewed in this global study agree that “getting closer to the customer” is key to business success in the next five years.
