What abilities are good for a President?

I have earlier asked questions about the necessary skills of a president here and here. David Brooks delivers some answers in his last column.

First of all he lays down the difference between a politician and a business person:

"The C.E.O.’s that are most likely to succeed are humble, diffident, relentless and a bit unidimensional. They are often not the most exciting people to be around."

Whereas a politician should be: "charisma, charm and personal skills".

Brooks concludes that a person like Dimitry Medvedev who comes directly from a CEO position to run Russia it not optimal and that it is not good when President Obama tries to run banks and US Car Inc.

What was also bad was that media judges presidential candidates as if they were CEOs.

I also want to note that when Human Destruction Inc. wants to run Sweden from their anonymous position this must be a disaster. People just obey. They don't know who. They just know that it might hurt if they don't agree. They might even hear that they might get a disease or bodily lesion if they fail to perform their service.
