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

...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?

1. Communication skills – they have the ability to express themselves articulately and understand others 2. Flexible with adapting to change 3. Team player - being able to work with and collaborate with others is critical 4. Professional maturity – respects others, responsible, reliable 5. Positive / good natured / good sense of humor

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.
