Hahah, indeed. So have you seen a law department in a company headed by someone who doesn't come from law background? How about a finance department headed by some schmuck who doesn't know anything about finance?
I've seen plenty of departments managed by people who don't come from the background of the department. My current boss is extremely good and came from a different discipline.
Although I don't deny it can help to have the background, it is not necessary to be a good manager of something. Also seen plenty of good techies promoted to management and failing badly.
This is a lie, and you know it. Even a mere idea about lawyers being managed by a non-lawyer would be laughed at. Same with finance, nobody would be stupid enough to even try it
