Here, here! Though managers do well to also learn how to handle having a team member who is more talented than "the boss".

I think "directing" is a core activity of successful design. There is so much collaboration in our fields between different design mediums that the directing of design, leading strategic design, etc. that are usually embodied in the manager role are vital to design success. On that turn, it is also really important that everyone that that manager manages knows that the manager can DO design as well as any of them. -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
