1. Be a relationship builder. Being able to get along in a team environment is important because it is likely the interviewee will be working with the same group of people daily. Having the strength to build relationships determines the amount of mental effort, information, and social support that are exchanged between the leader and the employee (Linden, Wayne, & Sparrowe, 2000).
2. Have an extraversion mentality. Extraversion is one of the big five personality traits. Employees with an extraversion personality are highly energetic and aggressive with a strong drive for interacting with other people (Costa & McCrae, 1992; Digman, 1990).
