This document discusses an exercise for exploring leadership attributes. Participants are asked to name leaders and identify attributes for each. They then self-identify their own attributes and score themselves. The document suggests reflecting on common leadership attributes across different leaders, both good and bad, as well as considering biases when evaluating leaders. It thanks Kylie Yearsley for the original idea of comparing leaders like Darth Vader and Tony Stark.
