Personal attributes needed in ICT Employment, the three that I have chosen to do is leadership, respect and planning and organisation skills.
Respect
Having admiration for someone and their achievements and not judging them on their appearance and what colour or gender the person is defines respect.

Linking to this the leader should review his group member’s work and inform them of how they can improve it to make it of a higher standard.
