What do you think are the key traits for a rainmaker?
All rainmakers I have ever met have stood out through their own distinctive style and perspective. Three key traits they shared included (i) building relationships and bringing people together, (ii) an ability to deliver genuine insight and perspective (fulfilling the trusted adviser role) and (iii) strong perseverance and resilience.
