Build a computer model for an internet forum, no problem. Build a computer model for a military and economic superpower with numerous distinct regions within it's massive boarders, diplomatic histories, and all of the personal neuroses of all the people you are going to be trying to get anything done with... well, let's just say being able to actually work with people are the most important thing.
Yep. To be chief executive, one needs to have executive experience in managing large organizations of diverse talent. Except for the last election cycle, the US of A went for about 40 years of electing a president with executive experience (governors mostly, but also some people who had been Vice President, or ran the CIA).
The last cycle was an aberration, in that both major party candidates were legislative politicos (disregarding McCain's officer status in the Air Force), and there was no clear large organization management experience in the field.
I reference people I just don't use the term people. A big part of being an engineer is know that there are others who know more then you about different parts of problems. Hence look for experts in other domains.

I notice that "building consensus among people" is absent from your list.
In fact, the word "people" is missing from your list.
Bingo.

McCain served in the Navy, not the Air Force.
My bad, I knew he was a pilot, didn't check my references.
