I would say yes and no, but mostly no. I think you actually need an extremely sensitive understanding of people to build up teams, to inspire effort, etc., but then also the cold-ish, mathematical understanding to make decisions that are for the greater good despite the fact that some people get hurt.
A 100% cold, mathematical fellow won't get his foot in the door of the executive office, let alone be able to inspire/retain key staff. Likewise, a 100% people person will fail by trying to delay the suffering and hence increase its spread.
Like the Greeks said: Nothing in excess.
