Programmer? Uh.. no.

I worked for 25 years in house techie/programmer for a child development agency. I had discovered that the best leaders are the ones who know how to lead, set the course and work with all the groups. From having a good staff to rely on as well as be an effective communicator with drive and empathy. Definitely good to to be a people person.

I think having a programmer oriented person in the cabinet staff would be a good thing, but not as a leader.
