Question

Answer

The manager was more interested in the academic side of a/the job rather than filing reports, he was a bit of a dreamer. He wasn't very good at that type of monotonous work, but preferred to do the job of actually managing and not filling. He probably thought people below him should be doing that work.

Answer

Exactly Farhad
filing report  is often necessary but a mechanic, time-consuming not very imaginative task, often quite boring too.  And the project manager mentioned here doesn't seem to be that kind of person at all if he's considered a bit of a day dreamer
