I would add that, in addition to the "expert negotiation skills" we always talk about around here as part of the GM discussions, one of the main advantages I see in teams with good ones is a clear and confident direction for the franchise. In other words, someone at some point soon has to make the call which way they want this thing to go, and I'd feel a lot better if that determination wasn't being made by a committee of "meh" folks that happen to have survived the consequences of the organization's last year.
