In War in the East 2 one intrepid person took the 6 individual leader skills (in WITE2 which are 1-9) and created composite skill ratings. The post where he explains it is here:

With that in mind I create composite skill values (Ground, Naval and Air) from the 7 leader skill values in WITP:AE.

The formulas I used was:

(Inspiration+leadership+Admin+Aggression + naval) / 5 = Naval
(Inspiration+leadership+Admin+Aggression + air ) / 5 = Air
(Inspiration+leadership+admin+aggression + land ) / 5 = Land

This lets one compare officers maybe a bit more easier than trying to figure out all the values. You could also average the three composite values to get one overall general value.

Here are two admirals with the WITP:AE standard leader values and the "composite" values
Attached is a spreadsheet I made from the Leader.csv I have from way back.

Thanks, another potentially handy tool in the toolbox.

Nice idea but pointless as skills have different waiting associated with them giving them a different function depending upon what they are commanding. Some are not even used by some commands.

You might want aggression for a surface TF but not for a CV or transport, you want to avoid surface combat and a high aggr has the opposite effect.

Admin, for instance, plays no part in TF/ship command.

Another example would be an air HQ. As far as I know admin and aggres play no part in their control of air functions.

Just because someone knows how to drive a plane does not mean that they know how to drive a ship much less one in a naval combat formation. Those also give those people no clues about how land warfare works.

Halsey, with his Aggression: 90 is bit risky CV TF commander.

AFAIK (not sure), his Aggression can sometimes even override "Remain in station" setting.
