what do you feel are the three most important things that make a "good" employee?

Answer 1

intelligence, dependability and professionalism

Answer 2

Obviously the other answerer's have never owned a business.

The number one most important thing that makes a "good" employee is....

earning the company more than they spend to employ you. As one of my former bosses used to say, "X+Y".

"X" is how much an employee costs, wages, benefits, taxes, supplies, phones, etc. etc. All employees who keep their jobs do "X" (unless there is a union, but that is a different subject)

"Y" is how much the employee brings to the company over and above their job. Do you always look for ways to save the company money? Make the company more money? Make the company more profitable? Offer to stay over? Take on extra work? Learn extra skills? Be happy? Like your job?

A good employee is one that not only produces enough work to pay for themselves, they do the things that bring extra profit back to the company.

And that is the most important thing to being a great employee.
