I've heard this a lot recently in regard to Intel's latest CEO coming from an engineering background. I can intuit it, but is there something to back up this claim?
I think a tech leader will have an easier time getting the money and business strategy advice (and taking it) better than a business type will be getting tech advice and using it well.
Business types don’t know what tech pieces to value and have a tendency to squeeze the resources out of the wrong places. It can work for some businesses better than others.
