Hi everybody, this is my first time starting a discussion. The question is simple:
“Must be the director of operation the highest tech knowledge person in the department?.”
Now I am Telling my case, I just move from Spain to the US to work as the Director of Operation in a company, I have a degree in Computer science, I have almost 5 years experience working in the IT field. I spent last 3 years managing the IT department in a big construction company.
I have some experience programming Navision, networking, etc.
I have come to this company and I have found 1 person on the department which technical skill are more up to date than mines (Lets say that I have the knowledge but I need the last service pack *smile* ).
I have people skills (that’s my strength), the “business vision” (if that make sense in English) and organization skills.
He has the highest knowledge and the ability of quick learning (he is quick, more than me because I have to work in an English environment, which I am not use to), he has very bad people skill, and less managing experience.
So what’s the important thing for this position, the higher tech knowledge or the higher management experience?
Apologize in case any grammar mistake
