But have you seen a North American Marketing Manager in a shirt and tie,
doing board-level testing and repairs on an EDM power supply?

Having both manual and people skills isn't that rare, Jan Paderewski
and Perez de Cuellar were diplomats and concert pianists, Eddie
Rickenbacker could build a car from scratch but took the head sales
position in his car company. I've seen some nice car restorations in
the barns of local politicians.

I think a lot of the people who mix those abilities become doctors or
naval officers, not to say that the inverse is true.
