Unfortunately, I knew several such leaders in the network engineering and tech support fields, but can't recall any in web design/development (caveat: I haven't worked in an agency or big SW shop like SAP/IBM/MS, so can only speak for my enterprise and startup experience).
On the other hand, I have worked with many extremely good directors and managers who went above and beyond their role in either the usability, design, development or operations departments to bring other departments together. They had to do so for lack of leadership above them, but it made a huge difference when someone recognized a massive gap in communications and did what was necessary to move forward. It's a little like playing poker while sitting under the table and holding your cards on top of the table.

Seems to me that's a rare and valuable quality. Thanks for pointing this out, Chris.
