Acknowledgments
We would like to gratefully acknowledge useful comments and suggestions received from Dr. Kim Roddis, professor and chair, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, George Washington University; and from Dr. Jeffrey Russell, professor and chair, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Also, we would like to thank Dr. Stuart G. Walesh, editor of the ASCE Body of Knowledge for the 21st Century, Second Edition, for his thorough analysis of our paper and for his meaningful comments, which have been at least partially addressed. In particular, his suggestion to discuss the roles of a problem definer and an opportunity finder greatly enhanced our discussion of leadership and creativity.
