I disagree, good leaders need to be sensitive to some degree and have empathy as well. They shouldn't be a wuss either. Some amount of sensitivity breeds loyalty. Consistency is also important from my perspective.

I don't believe you can define a good leader simply by identifying three character traits, it's much more challenging than that and requires balance of many character traits.

Who was the dbag that was interviewed?

Jack Welch was very demanding (as well as intolerant of marginal performers) of his people but I believe he had some degree of sensitivity. I've heard that he knew the top 2000 employees/leaders in the company by first name and knew details of their resumes as well. I don't think he wanted all that information if he wasn't going to use it in many different ways and impacting on many different decisions.
