Science & technology is a topic that encompasses science, technology, and the interactions between the two. Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of explanations and predictions about nature and the universe. Technology is the collection of techniques, methods or processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation, or any other consumer demands.
Science may drive technological development, by generating demand for new instruments to address a scientific question, or by illustrating technical possibilities previously unconsidered. In turn, technology may drive scientific investigation, by creating demand for technological improvements that can only be produced through research, and by raising questions about the underlying principles that a new technology relies on.
For the majority of human history, technological improvements were achieved by chance, trial and error, or spontaneous inspiration. When the modern scientific enterprise matured in the Enlightenment, it primarily concerned itself with basic questions of nature. Research and development directed towards immediate technical application is a relatively recent occurrence, arising with the Industrial Revolution and becoming commonplace in the 20th century.
As academic fields, science and technology are often grouped with engineering and mathematics, as the STEM fields.

One thing immediately jumps out: Only one of the 13 questions, question No. 9, asks employees to rate their manager's hard skills.
Every other question focuses on soft skills: communication, feedback, coaching, teamwork, respect, and consideration. The evaluation predominately assesses not what managers know but how they do their jobs.
Which means the best managers add value by helping their teams succeed -- their success comes from the team's, and each individual on that team's, success.
Of course, you could argue that possessing superb technical skills is less important for Google's team managers since it's easier for Google to recruit and retain incredibly skilled people than it is for many companies.
