Answer / mithilesh

The job role of a probationary officer requires a lot of
people skills as constantly he/she is dealing with people
in or outside the organisation.
The nature of service being provided by the bank involves
every kind of clients.
Hence I believe, respect for people in and around is the
most crucial aspect a Po must possess.
Business awareness is the second most important
characteristic that would be required for any PO.
