what's the no. 1 personality trait you try to look for when you're hiring/interviewing people?

Question

...I'm not talking about work-related skills, but more about personality. What do you believe is the most important quality for a candidate/new hire to possess?

MegWalsh · Answer

Aside from the basic smart, experienced, driven I look for a sense of humor - not that they have to be funny; just that they should be able to not take everything too seriously and adapt when things go weird with a good attitude.   In my industry (cannabis regulatory and transactional law), if you can't be flexible you will be miserable.
