But really good strategists are not, imho, people with the head only n the stars. They must be also down the earth, just to be able to confront their ideas with realities.

I think you also have a field of expertise many of the people mentionned in this article don't. You're European :)</p> You have a question at the end, and you gave the answer at the beginning.
