Computer implemented method and system to identify leaders in various workgroups

A computer implemented system for leader identification, said system including a system processor, said system comprising:

• i. a reference repository for storing attributes and attribute values of different known leaders related to a field of activity;
• ii. a second operational processor cooperating with the system processor, said second operational processor configured to communicate with the reference repository, said second operational processor including a first sorter operating under sorting commands and an editor operating under editing commands of the second operational processor, said first sorter configured to sort known leaders in the reference repository according to their ranking in their field of activity, said editor configured to store attributes into said reference repository and edit said stored attributes and further configured to update a list of known leaders and their attributes and fields in said reference repository by addition or deletion;
• iii. a digital persona repository configured to store dynamically the attributes of individuals whose leadership qualities need to be ascertained in their individual fields of activity;
• iv. a first data miner configured with a data crawler and cooperating with the system processor to mine internal data in an organization associated with an individual, who figures in said digital persona repository, said internal data including the organizations' employee databases, human resource systems, performance management systems, e-mail conversations, employee log-sheets, employee goals and deliverables;
• v. a second data miner configured with a web crawler and cooperating with the system processor to mine publically available external data relating to said individual including his/her social networking routine;
• vi. a temporary data storage repository for receiving data mined, in respect of the individual, by the first and second data miners in response to commands from the system processor;
• vii. a tagger responsive to commands from the system processor and configured to tag the received data in the temporary data storage repository mined in respect of the individual corresponding to the attributes of the known leaders in a corresponding field of activity to generate tagged data;
• viii. a validator responsive to commands from the system processor and configured to validate from the received data, correct identity of the individual and related appropriate content of the validated individual;
• ix. a first operational processor cooperating with the system processor, said first operational processor configured to receive the validated tagged data, said first operational processor including an extractor crawler operating under the commands of the first operational processor, said extractor crawler configured to crawl over the validated tagged data and extract tagged attributes, said first operational processor configured to compute values for discrete attributes for the individual depending upon tagging frequency;
• x. a storer cooperating with the system processor, said storer configured to receive discrete attribute values for the individual and store in an individual digital persona folder the discrete attribute values in the digital persona repository;
• xi. a weightage setter cooperating with the system processor, said weightage setter configured to allot weightages to each of the attributes;
• xii. a third operational processor cooperating with the system processor, said third operational processor includes a comparator operating under the commands of the third operational processor, said comparator configured to receive the digital persona of the individual along with his attributes and their discrete values and also receive the list of leaders in the individual's field of activity ranked according to their individual attribute values and execute comparison commands given by the third operational processor to compare the value of a particular attribute of the individual with the value of the same attribute of each of the known leaders in a field of activity to determine the rank of the individual in relation to the list of leaders, said third operational processor further configured to generate a total attribute value computed by the summation of the individual discrete weighted attribute values of the individual in the digital persona repository which is a multiple of the weight of the leaders in the reference repository allotted to the attribute and the frequency of the attribute in the mined data;
• and
• xiii. a display cooperating with the system processor, said display configured to display the attribute ranking of the individual with respect to all the attributes of the known leaders in the field of activity and the leadership rank of the individual with respect to a list of ranked known leaders.
