I think you're making the mistake of taking all the skills you find mysterious and dumping them in one bucket, based on four faulty assumptions:
1. They're related skills (only some of them are) 2. They're a skill set that has anything to do with being a "boss" (again, only some of them are) 3. They're likely to reside in the same person (varies widely) 4. Your idea of what a boss is for is the whole picture (it's situational)
Having said that, I agree with your general conclusion that people who don't have these skills probably need to link up with someone who does if they want to earn money. But if you're going to do that, you need to know what you're looking for.
Marketing, Product Management Figure out what people would pay for.
Marketing Find out who has both the need and the money. Tell the world your work exists and persuade them to choose it.
This one's tough: recruiters, other entrepreneurs, really good HR people (which are rare), sometimes "Bosses" Figure out who can do that work well and would actually get it done.
Accounts Payable people, sometimes you can hire accountants who do this for you Make the client pay what they owe.
Actual "bosses" also do other things, such as coordinating the efforts of multiple people on a project (this can also be called "project management"), managing budgets and timelines, etc.
Sometimes you'll see a number of these in the same person, but not always.
