Most of the traits mentioned above. People are different, some would value you for understanding them, non-judgmental approach, for ability to have fun with you and not being intimidated by your success. Others will admire you for qualities you have and they don't. The point is - how far you want to go and sacrifice yourself for being the most popular guy? If very far - I would learn from most succesful politicians. They know what to say and when ;)
Do you want to be popular with the muximum number of people or with the choosen circle of individuals? The blocbuster films and no 1 songs - do you like them the most too?
My point of view - be yourself and let others be themselves, there will be always someone who likes qualities you have and who admires you for such courage.
I also think that more important are traits you don't have than the ones you possess. People - when they get use to your presence - like you untill there is something in you that bothers them. Lies and criticism are very unpopular.

What you've mentioned is the obvious stuff! Here's more:
There are no friends in the work place (you'll find this out at promotion time) just be friendly and keep an eye on the enemies. DO NOT take sh** home with you, that is how you'll go insane!
(O.K. So I've had a bad job experience. LOL. This is the reason for my own business!!)
Sorry...personality trait???...ability to shut your working mind off when you leave work.

if you are a girl, consider sleeping with the whole office in order to get promotions and popularity. Such practice is more then common in metro offices (obviously not in those remote religiously fanatical areas).
If you are a guy, consider being open, intelligent and honest. If you try to screw a co employe, you'll have to accept in being considered as a jerk and hopefully fired.

Look out for #1 first. Stroke the intelligent management gently. Keep friends and Co-Workers separate, be friendly, but not friends.

You need tolerance and patience...cause I guarantee you that there will always be someone more intelligent, ruthless and popular!
How do I know this? Cause that would be. :-)

Flexibility and common sense are valuable in the workplace every day, even when you are the Boss.

Dependability. If everyone, from the top down, knows they can depend on you to be on time, do your job, be courteous to co-workers and clients, be honest (even when the news isn't good), then you should get on famously!

Qualities required would be different dealing with people than in IT for example.
Working for yourself and working with others require different approaches as well.
Depends on your position; entry level, middle or boss ?
Flexibility, open-mindedness, etc.......you want me to put up my résumé and cover letter to see ???:-)

Always willing to help because you never know when you need it. Do your work always. Never try to act inappropriately. Keep your private life any from work, never meet up with co-workers who are your superiors. Then just be yourself.
