    Needing to stay abreast of the latest technology is utterly irrelevant: that's what your staff is supposed to do.

    This is true for some environments. In my role I'm also the database architect as well as the database manager. Part of my job is to stay abreast of upcoming technologies so I can lay a path for the future.

    It's true for your architect job, not the manager job. If you are strictly a manager, and I think that is important, than you shouldn't need lots of technical knowledge.
