Good DBA vs. Bad DBA

I posted my list of Good DBA vs. Bad DBA on the DBA Pipeline
(www.revealnet.com),

and it was suggested I share it here, which I am doing.... comments most welcome.
(If you saw this list on Revealnet, I've made some minor adjustments...)

Roberts Rules of Good DBA vs. Bad DBA

Good DBA - Proactive
Bad DBA - Reactive
Good DBA - Knows how to RTFM
Bad DBA - Has never cracked the FM
Good DBA - Analyzes and comments
Bad DBA - Just comments
Good DBA - Not always right and admits it Bad DBA - Rarely right and denies it.
Good DBA - Never Ever Ever content
Bad DBA - More worried about his retirement in 2011 than Oracle RDBMS version 11.
Good DBA - Considers, plans and executes Bad DBA - executes and hopes he can recover, after the failure. Good DBA - Knows how to listen, is intuitive and offers value. Bad DBA - Jumps in, Shares all he knows and offers nothing of value. Good DBA - Is SURE he is right before he acts, but is not afraid to call support if he has the least
little doubt (or if it's a major problem). Bad DBA - Thinks he has to act and doesn't want to call support for fear of being labeled bad dba.
Good DBA - Asks questions before doing
Bad DBA - Does and asks questions only if the doing doesn't do it. Good DBA - Knows the answer or how to find it (e.g. Coming here and asking the question).
Bad DBA - Knows where the good DBA is at all times, because the good DBA will know the answer and it's
easier than figuring it out himself.
