seems to me, who was a SPO many years ago, that running a site is the same as managing a site and therefore pretty much the same skills are used
unless you meant you are good at 'cutting corners', 'getting away with it', or 'fudging' dino?
I get told by a manager how much time I've got and what resources (people etc) I'm getting, and get on with it (I've usually written the WSI/PD so usually have a mental image of what needs doing) - seems fairly simple to me. What I don't do is management stuff like having meetings with the client, costing it all etc, I just make a big hole and record it, and prod whatever worrkforce I've got in the same general diection. If SPOs elsewhere are being expected to manage then they should be holding out for management wages and a better job title - sounds like you were being ripped off to me! Presumably in your current elevated position you're similarly ripping off the SPOs working for you?
