It is exactly the same we follow at our small organization. A senior person must gel with the way a small organization works, where hard process are little and few. I am not sure how managers in big organization are, but in small you need agile person, and fit with environments of the organization. In short my observation gels with your two point.

Nice article, I admire your observation power.

You should be a manager more than a “hacker”… why don’t you list a well structured list of skills a good manager should possess (like in the post “How to recognise a good programmer”) ? This post is basically a lot of words and nothing in concrete (like the checklist you gave in the mentioned post)

I think there is a LOT of hidden icebergs in your post. Why don’t you mention formal qualifications and variety of management techniques?

In my experience, a technology manager MUST have at least two masters degrees and a bunch of diplomas and certificates in both: management and the technology that his/her team develops.

I can imagine the Dilbert’s boss trying to hire a manager just after reading your post, specifically the part of “you should fairly quickly gain a pretty good idea of whether this person’s management style works with yours”… come on!
