Yes .. Richard;
Its a fine balancing act .. there are minds I've encountered who are brilliant at managing process and then there are minds brilliant at maneuvering around technical scientific issues.
There are two disciplines and two mindsets required .. and there's nothing to say that a scientist can't be a good manager, (of the process), or a good manager can't make for a good scientist. The two areas are both very tall however, and to be good at both would be quite an extraordinary find.
Come to think of it, why would you look for it all in one person, anyway ?
Isn't this why entire organisations exist, to produce the overall scientific 'goods' ?
Cheers
