3. They understand the entire strategy and help make sure the appropriate strategic outcomes are identified.<\/p>\n

4. Their knowledge of performance metrics is thorough, allowing them to determine which metrics are most applicable to the data at hand, how to transform that data into useful intelligence that can be acted upon, and how and in what format that information should be presented.<\/p>\n

5. They are good at analyzing problems, planning, and research.<\/p>\n

6. They’re excellent communicators (writing, speaking, presentations, and listening).<\/p>\n

7. They are skilled at conflict resolution and solving problems.<\/p>\n

8. They are good at leading, making sound decisions, being reasonable, reliable, and credible.<\/p>\n
