Abstract:

While productivity is and will be a fundamental attribute of the competent statistician, there are other core themes that must be allowed to develop, appear, and exert their influences. The presence of self-control and patience, of moral excellence and compassion, and of discipline and flexibility are as critical to the development of the junior scientist as is the acquisition of technical skills. The presence of these traits engenders collegiality, persuasive strength, responsibility, administrative diligence, influence, and vision (i.e., the qualities of charitable leadership).
