Managing a large facility like this is not a job in which the person at the top makes the decisions about details. They have to be on top of the big picture. I am an engineer who works on radio telescopes, so I am familiar with the sort of issues that come up. The biggest issue by far is making sure that your facility has funding to carry out its mission. Next is finding people who can handle all the details. Then making sure that useful science is being carried out, so that the funding will stay in place and the people won't leave.
