By 'in the question' I suppose you mean the obviouse answer 'They need to manage well'?

Well, I agree, but it can be broken down:

they need to be able to:
1. Manage their own time, as well as the time used on PW projects well
2. Have at least a very basic understanding of graphics, scripting, and level making...
3. To be patient
4. Be a natural leader
5. Understand a bit about human nature
6. Be organized

I can't really think of anything else, though I am probably missing something... and I know this is probably going to start some big argument, but I don't agree that a manager is good, simply because they "do their job to the best of their ability" or follow the rules. I agree with the honesty to a point, and I obviously agree that they need to be patient... but I think a manager can try as hard as they want... they could be online every second of their free time... but that, in no way, makes them a good manager.
