no i'm not

Are you defining people as weak because you think writing is important and ignoring all other aspects of their personality?

If you want to talk about personality the member of the big 5 most correlated with intelligence is openness. The member with the highest negative correlation to intelligence is conscientiousness. To be skilled in any kind leadership you need both high intelligence and super high conscientiousness. To be skilled in writing you need high openness and at least moderately high conscientiousness.

Irrespective of creativity and intelligence you need some amount of conscientiousness to be goal oriented. That is just yourself. To direct others to do the same you need that plus excellent communication skills. There are no shortcuts or alternatives here.
