The ability to see where you suck and see your opportunities and above all, fight hard to fix it, is rare. It is much more than making a decision based off of information collected by advisors - it is vision and wisdom and political sense and grit. This is no less true when the particular mission is reducing suffering than when it is making money. Solving hard problems is always hard, and there are never enough people around who can make it happen.
