Of course. Go ahead.

My feeling on IT management is that you MUST have three things:

1)
Technical skill!!!!! Absolutely. Not debatable. How can you manage that which you don't understand? Could a generalist manager put up a nuclear power plant? No. You must understand what's involved.

2) People skills

3) Management skills.
