I've got about 8 out of the 10. The task master thing eludes me AND I've known for a long time, intuitively, that the great ones are true task masters. The arrogant part used to reside somewhere in this belly of mine. I find myself tapping into it unconsciously sometimes but not enough. Really cool list.
