Eric Scheid:

> We don't want the managers actually *doing* our work, do we?

Yes, we want managers who

A)  can do our work
B)  have done our work
C)  will do our work if/when needed
D)  enjoy our work so they stay up-to-date with trends
E)  are designers

We don't managers who are clueless about what we do save for a book or a
seminar, who have no sense, sensibility or interest in our work, who are
unable or uninterested in mentoring those of us who do the work, who can't
promote us within the organization because they don't quite grok what we do.

We sure don't want casting directors, because design is not make believe.

The constraint is the design.
