Aristotle on Virtue

First, is possible to be a living breathing human being and avoid all decision-making? Is it possible that part of being human necessarily includes - to a certain degree - the process of decision making? This may simply be a matter of different ways of thinking, or process, when ultimately coming to a decision. It may be then, that the philosopher makes his or her decisions based on a uniquely distinctive set of criteria; taking into consideration only those variables that pass the test of the golden mean, neutrality or universal truth, for example.

Second, perhaps we could relate this discussion to the Aristotle piece, since he defines the virtuous man as being the one most capable of making proper or wise decisions.

It is hard work to be excellent, since in each case it is hard work to find what is intermediate. To do this to the right person, to the right extent, at the right time, with the right motive, that is not for everyone, nor is it easy; wherefore goodness is both rare and laudable and noble.
(Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics: Book II)

If we look at the virtuous man (or the one who has wisdom to know how to act) as the "philosopher", then perhaps we may want to reconsider the philosopher as a good leader.
