A key aspect missing from your list: Always Be Closing. Good execs are always selling, internally and externally. Your list mostly concerns the internal aspect of being an exec, but a huge part of it is selling externally. Whether they are the ones actually closing the deals or moving things along doesn't really matter, the point is they're always selling. And at the end of the day, what's going to make or break your business is how much product you're moving. Execs are hugely important for this, in addition to all the points you mentioned.
