Zyxo: Sure there are people who have all seven qualities. Not enough perhaps, but enough!

Juli: I completely agree with you. Perhaps I should have emphasized it more.

You don't need a "numbers God" but you don't need someone how knows nothing about data / tools / possibilities or does not have advanced critical thinking capabilities.

A manager who doesn't know how to use the tools the analysts use has little perspective on the ways to approach problem solving.

Bad ones : you are better of without. Average ones : they do no good, but don't harm either. Good ones : you do a better job when you have one like that around, but : they are an extremely rare species!When I see your list, someone with three of the seven skills would already fall in my "good" category. You think there exists some heavenly creature in the world with all seven ?(From what I read in your writings in and between the lines, I suppose you make a good candidate ...:-).
