Do engineers make good managers?

Comment

It seems nobody is happy. I find it bad to be managed by non technical people because they are incapable of creating or understanding any strategy which is the primary responsibility. Making me feel warm inside and chatting and being firm but fair are all total side issues which just depend on someone's personality. Good work results from being able to fit people to the problem so you do need both skills and hence we aren't all fitted for managenent except that a lot of management aren't fitted either.
