John -- it turns out I'm finding a multiple of "C" words to describe different facets of leadership. 'Tis time, it appears, to expand beyond seven, despite that being such a lovely number (from my point of view *smile*). I agree with you that force-ranking isn't going to work with the "C's" -- they're a bit like a pile of Jenga blocks that build on, and support, one another. And, as to the "well-mannered maverick" part, that's going to be a fun explanation! Thanks as always for weighing in and making the discussion richer!
