One of the major aspects of being the president is how well you delegate and manage. It is such a big job you have to rely on your cabinet and advisers and make choices based on the information they give you. You also need to be able to pick good people for those jobs. The better the team you surround yourself with the better the odds are you will be successful.

Being a CEO or president of a company requires many of the same skills.

Sure, there are big differences, but being president is such a unique job is is hard to know for sure just how good someone will be at the job until they are doing the job. That said, if they were governor of a state or Mayor of a major city or CEO of a big company it can give you a glimpse into their management style and how they might do.
