+
+<ul>
+<li>Clarity of thought.</li>
+<li>The ability to communicate clearly.</li>
+<li>A great sense of mission.</li>
+<li>A massive willingness to perservere.</li>
+<li>A willingness to make painful decisions.</li>
+<li>Extraordinary energy.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>(I made this into a bulleted list.)</p>
+
+<p>This list rings true to me. I have seen surpluses and deficits in each of these points in myself and others, and I&#8217;ve seen the impact of someone who matches this list well (or doesn&#8217;t but thinks they do).</p>
