The kind way of stating this is that a good manager needs good technical advice. And whichever your strength is it is wise to konw it and to be aware of whether you are one of the VERY rare people who actually combines both. A company needs ways of rewarding both types of people so that it is worthwhile to exploit your strengths rather than have to try to cover your weaknesses. In fact I think companies need ways of rewarding a much more diverse set of people than this if they want successful teams. but that is probably another discussion. ------- Caroline
