Do engineers make good managers?

Hmmm. Aren't there two unspoken assumption here? 1. That 'managing' isn't a proper job in its own right - therefore with its own training, practical learning processes and qualifications - but rather something that people who do have proper jobs (as it may be 'engineers') will pick up as a matter of course with advancing years (like hair-loss)? No suggestion that an engineer wanting to move into management should look to add an MBA to her C. Eng as part of that process for example? and 2. That in so far as 'Management' is a proper job - its at a higher level than mere 'Engineer'. Pete
