That is bad. It may not seem crucial, but the ability to connect well with people
is one of the key requirements of being a credible political leader. Otherwise, we'd all be happy to be run by a government of technocrats, which is arguably ideal, but probably not so pleasant. There'd be no room for compromise; follow the plan (because we know what's good for you), or else.
