Using your vision of the quintessential project manager (e.g., one who has the perfect balance of hard and soft skills and domain knowledge), what noteworthy positions could be filled by his/her skillset.

It would give a whole new meaning to the acronym POTUS.
- Instead of: “President of the United States”
- We would have instead: “Project Office of the United States”

I do not agree with your thougths for elected leaders.

As you can imagine other than have a clean criminal record and be a citizen of the country can not exist other restrictions otherwise we were segregating population segments. In a democracy anyone should be able to run to presidence ,and leave it to the people to decide who is best capable to perform the role.

For nominated leaders I totally agree with you.
