Yep. To be chief executive, one needs to have executive experience in managing large organizations of diverse talent. Except for the last election cycle, the US of A went for about 40 years of electing a president with executive experience (governors mostly, but also some people who had been Vice President, or ran the CIA).

The last cycle was an aberration, in that both major party candidates were legislative politicos (disregarding McCain's officer status in the Air Force), and there was no clear large organization management experience in the field.
