From 1980 to 2010 I did hundreds of programs focused on Leading Styles & Skills through

 UGA Institute of Government - Management Division
UGA Institute for Business
UGA J. W. Fanning Leadership Institute
UGA Continuing Education Center
         SRCUS 34 years
         P&R 25 years
and taught 58 sessions of my Masters Degree Course
for Columbus State University's COMMAND COLLEGE
plus sessions or complete retreats for a couple hundred Community Leadership Programs

 One exercise I gave the participants or students involved
reviewing the key traits for a mixture of the most popular
selling books on Leadership written during those 30 years

 The challenge in teams of 4 or 5 was to review one author's
traits of Effective, Productive or Creative Leaders
and narrow then down to 10 traits needed in public safety agencies.

 Then 4 to 6 different teams narrowed down the 40 to 60 traits
they had agreed upon to the TOP 10

 from those came my Cornerstones of Productive & Creative Leadership
listed in the previous chapter and will be discussed in greater length later
in another chapter or chapters.

They ranged from quick exercises to tests with over 200 questions. Because I often did lunch time speeches I needed some...
