If someone is able to do the things I stated... and not even try their hardest, then they could still be a great manager...
I see no link between trying your hardest, and being a good manager. You could do a 1/2 azz job, and still be a good manager, if you were a good enough leader, organizer, and good at managing your time.
Also, I said BASIC knowlege... like, they don't need to be able to script NPC's, and stuff... just have a basic understanding of how scripting works, and level making, and stuff... because, how would you know if your staff is doing a lot of work, or doing a good job, if you know nothing about these things?

I can think of at least 5 staff members that do more work on EoA than I do, and I am the manager... I don't think that makes me a bad manager... I mean, I manage, and they develope... and I view development as being harder work than management. Management is just the kind of thing you are either good at, or bad at... there is little room for improvement.
I also thought of something else that is needed. They must be a friend, as well as a boss to their staff. they must also be respected by their staff.. if a staff losses it's respect for it's manager... well, that's bad
:P

He said it can get NO harder... as in, there is no harder job, than to manage a PW...
Though, I think my developers have a harder job than I have... since my job is just mental work, and theirs is more laborous (sp?)
