Martin Breheny: Why don't modern managers trust their instincts anymore?
"Best bosses need certain traits, not just data and huge backroom teams, to be successful"
"Tactically, he was streets ahead of anyone I have worked with - incredible."
Strong leaders combine tactical acumen, clear judgment, and people skills rather than depending solely on data systems or large analytics teams. Tactical intelligence enables leaders to exploit opportunities, adapt plans, and outthink competitors or opponents. Good managers synthesize quantitative input with experience, make decisive calls under uncertainty, and communicate purposefully to align teams. Overreliance on backroom resources can dilute accountability and slow decisions. Practical leadership traits—clarity, decisiveness, adaptability, trust-building, and situational awareness—drive consistent performance more than sheer analytical horsepower alone.
