Abstract: What qualities are needed by statisticians to achieve top leadership positions in academia, business, industry and government? Five leaders from statistical societies, national and international statistical offices, and academia share their experiences. They respond to five specific questions.

And finally they were asked: what message do you have for young statisticians aspiring to leadership roles? Show more
