What is the most important quality for decision-makers? Is it management skills?
No, actually it isn't.
There are roles like "staff officers" and "assistants" in the world. In terms of specific management skills, they are better than the decision-makers who manage them.
Then, is it professional competence in a certain field?
No, it isn't either.
There is also the role of "consultant" in the world. Their professional competence in a particular field is absolutely higher than that of their superiors.
So, is it "knowing a little about everything"?
Even less so. Jacks of all trades do not make good decision-makers.
In fact, the capabilities needed by decision-makers are just "courage" and "trust."
They must be able to make decisions quickly and bear the mental pressure of "failure" and "risk."
And to trust the decisions made by professionals, not causing trouble for the executors below.
These two points are the most important.
