this is not a sentence. this is a subject. what is the leader doing?

if i were to revise your fragment, however, it would be changed to:

'A strong, disciplined leader, focused on delivery and able to engineer a pragmatic solution for any problem that may present itself.'

edit: shortening the end to 'any problem that may arise' would be even better.

"A strong, disciplined leader who is focused on delivery, able to take any problem that presents itself, and come up with a pragmatic approach for resolution"

as pointed out above, this is technically a sentence fragment.

you could say "bob is a strong, disciplined leader.."

or "what we need is a strong, disciplined leader.."

etc.

Any recommendations on how to improve the above sentence? there are too many 'ands' in the sentence, but I'm struggling on how to deliver the same message in one sentence.

My head hurts and I'm not thinking straight at the moment.

Thanks

********** is a strong, disciplined leader intensly focused on delivery and able to generate a pragmatic approach to resolve any problem that may present itself.

A wispy, offbeat WINMONKEYKING who is very focused on fit birds and leather couches. Pragmatically.

Wow, with all the grammar nazi's here you guys think that looks fine?

A strong, disciplined leader who is very focused on delivery, is able to take any problem that presents itself, and comes up with a pragmatic approach for resolution.

Is this in answer to the question: How do you describe yourself? Even if it is, you really should be using "I am a."
