So many times you’ll hear about what is ‘in’ and what is ‘out’ of style, whether it is fashion, gestures, music, or words.   What I find interesting is what remains foundational in good or bad times,

no matter what the age, gender or occupation.   Today employees are wondering if loyalty, honesty and hard work matter, as they experience downsizing and sometimes a disappointing experience with their companies lack of honest communications.   If these three foundations are lost, what will they be replaced with?  Imagine the impact if they were replaced with cynicism, distrust and lack of commitment.

Top 10 foundational traits that remain 'in style':

1. Respect
2. Manners
3. Honesty
4. Caring
5. Hard work
6. Sense of humor
7. Loyalty
8. Kindness
9. Responsibility
10. Desire to learn
