I have people under me who do things I know nothing about other than general understanding of what and why they do it. Two way trust is absolutely essential to making it work when the subordinate knows a hell of a lot more about it than the big boss. I have other subordinates who do exactly what I did for 20 years and although I may be more involved with their operation, I still learn just as much from them as they probably do from me.

A great boss hires talented people to do things he can't. Bingo! I started out as a one person show 36 years ago building rods with my mom taking care of the books then my brother came in to the business, and now we have 35+ people and none of them can do my job 100% and I can't do most of their's. That's the key to running a strong business, having people smarter than you to help figure things out. As you can tell by my grammar, I barley made it through high school but have been fortunate to surround myself with great people..

The customer facing meet, greet, and talk (which is > 50%) - absolutely. The technical aspect of making something actually work - he would struggle, but would probably get through it with some assistance. I have a great manager - he always looks out for his direct reports.
