Depends on your taste. I prefer talking to intelligent, well-informed people to playing golf or flirting with actresses. I like JFK's line to assembled Nobel laureates ... "To night I'm talking to the most distinguished set of people of wit and wisdom in the White House since Thomas Jefferson dined alone." Even in the White House, Jefferson wrote to hundreds of people -- received advice and read the newspapers every chance he got. I can't imagine any man of power being out of touch. Napoleon's intendents talked of the oppression of having the Emperor looking over their shoulders all the time. He was omnipresent -- a detail man -- . Every good governor has a network of trusted informants parallel to the official lines of communications. Any employee of Intel can e-mail Andy Grove and get an answer. Effective organizations are completely horizontal. Any one who walls himself off from anyone will regret it.
