1. Punctuality:
Punctuality is important for any sort of business. It has two ways to look on
Be punctual for office timings
Be punctual for execution of tasks assigned
Ignoring any one could reflect adversely on the performance of the individual and of the organization as a whole. “Punctuality reflects personality.”
The first kind of punctuality is outdated. It denotes quantity and not quality. We must have flexible work hours. One hour delay can be excused in the morning so that one is not tense [2-3 days /week] but allowed to stay on to complete the work in the evening.

All frustration start in the morning, added to this any discipline for rigid punctuality will hurt many right working persons.
Management leading by example is key – sets the tone for the entire company. However, looking at companies like Google for instance, which has a very relaxed, laid back approach to timing but is ultimately performance driven and based on employee trust.

However, dressing like a corporate man is not all. You need to know which color goes best with your personality, your position and you purpose in office. Moreover, corporate dressing can make you look more proficient and qualified and boost up yours confidence, which in turn helps you to make great performance.
I am agree with this trait. But its not the mandatory trait.
As on today I dont have this trait. I am trying to develop it.
3. Preparing in advance:
Doing homework before the meeting is necessary to be effective. In order to make intelligent comments, offer helpful suggestions or ask pertinent questions, we need to know a meetings purpose and topic areas in advance. If we have received a vague notice or agenda, inquire about whats going to be discussed and what are the goals. We can basically say that you want to come ready to contribute.
