I'm having a s****y day, so I'll throw out a s****y idea...maybe it's her
management's goal to edge her out by descoping her responsibilities, and by
the poster's getting in the way, they'll simply get two for the price of
one.
I say do your job really well and let the big boys (and girls) do what they
do.

Probably waiting for a question to pop up that he/she
can lob over to development... LOL
Yes, managers are there to manage people and
situations. But it sounds like this person doesn't
need a manager, rather she needs a leader.
You can't be appointed as a leader. You have to earn
that title, and you don't have to be a manager to lead one.
