I hope that bit is another one of those "It depends" items, and that if 
you're hiring someone you want as a team lead or manager or something of 
the sort that you actually put something in your requirement that says so, 
so I know not to respond.

Why? I'm an experienced (and dare I say, talented) writer. I _shine_ at 
being a second-in-command, fix this emergency, learn this new technology 
so we can use it to do our job, be the guru who teaches other team members 
how to do something, perform basic troubleshooting and tech support for 
the writing group, and learn this new process/software/hardware and 
document it person; but  I have no desire to be a team lead or a manager, 
and my resume will never show that trend you're looking for.
