Common Denominators: What traits do this year’s Power Players share?
This page presents new category breakdowns that group power players according to traits they have in common. This answers such questions as: Which leaders are recession busters? Which are nutrition champions? And so on. Each trait is given an identifying icon that is also used in the profiles throughout this issue. These alphabetical lists for each characteristic aren’t meant to be all-inclusive, but rather to provide a sampling of those who excel in each.
