What makes a good manager? August 11, 2008

I had coffee last week w/a long-time comrade of mine. He's a an architypical linux system engineer, and he's done some amazing things where he's worked.
He's also curmudgeonly in that linux-system-engineer-who's-seen-too-many-well-meaning-execs-screw-things-up way.
I asked him what he thinks makes a Good Manager.
His answer is that, and this is a necessary but not sufficient condition, the manager can do the job of any of his/her direct reports. Maybe not to the same level, but they can, if necessary pinch-hit and get on base. Thus, they can also organize the team and get stuff done.
Not a bad answer.
Not bad at all.
