One of the best managers I ever had was a PC weenie who knew nothing about mainframes. He knew how to manage. He never tried to make technical decisions because he knew that his people were qualified to do that. He believed that the most important thing for him to do was to keep the corporate bureaucracy out of our way so that we could do our jobs. He enabled us to do our best work. One of the worst managers was a highly competent technical person who seemed to think that he needed to second guess everything that we did. He didn't have the temperament to be a manager and should have remained in a technical position, but he accepted the change because idiotic bureaucracy couldn't give him a raise without making him a manager. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
