Best CEO's are boring

David Brooks column - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/19/opinion/19brooks.html - suggests that, "In other words, warm, flexible, team-oriented and empathetic people are less likely to thrive as C.E.O.’s. Organized, dogged, anal-retentive and slightly boring people are more likely to thrive." Oh-well, that is what I observed over 40 years.
