• Confidence that executives have valuable roles to play even if they don’t always have the right answer;
• A high level of trust in the intelligence and capabilities of employees;
• The willingness to follow numbers and analysis wherever they lead (as long as they are more-or-less consistent with common sense);
• A pretty strong analytical and financial orientation (since futures markets aren’t something that every Joe or Jane understands).
