wow! ok ... gulp! I completely agree w/ Peter Me on this one. If you are not managing in two directions you are doing a disservice to yourself and your direct reports. This requires direct knowledge of the business and how it runs. you need to manage budgets, you need to take responsibility for P&L, even as a design manager, even as a mid-level design manager at a large corp. The life of any manager should exist as much in MS Project, Excel, and PPT as it does in Visio, Illustrator, Photoshop, and MindMapper. You can't only be focused on design. You need to be aware of the business' effect on your group and strategize for contingencies and evangelize accordingly.
