Sorry Nico

I was sort of aiming that in AndrewF's direction, but I also meant in  
-- in general terms.  I am an instructor and teacher, but an eclectic  
one.  I am qualified to teach people to fly, but I also lead and  
manage (when I have to) for which I am trained and have practised.

Specialists *tend* not to want to do the other stuff, like managing --  
budgets, people, planning motivating etc ....  And you have to *want*  
to do all the tedious tasks that go with managing to be successful at  
it; there is nothing worse than a bad manager who has too much control.

Andrew was pointing out that the people who did the caring best were  
the specialists, whereas the managers tended to want to make the most  
effective use of resources.  The institution that gets that balance  
right for its patients might not be able to make the budgets stretch  
for the year and then will not exist to care for its patients.
