One can argued that different CLM skills and attributes are required at different levels, however there is no definite CLM skills and attributes required for each levels. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the skills and attributes for strategic Leader/CEO ,in both military and civilian Organization, needs to be more comprehensive and more valued, Leaders at this should have the ability to create a vision or mission statement with intent and end state.
