I think the qualities of a good chair are:
 1 organized - keeps track of who thinks what
 2 perceptive - can dive into tech details, but only when necessary
 3 coherent - can explain issues and plans to everyone
 4 creative - invents processes and desiderata for tech decisions
 5 ruthless
 6 ruthless
 7 ruthless
 8 charismatic - helps compensate for ruthlessness
