"to be hands on" means to get involved in a physical way, to take a keen interest in, to participate personally in a process. It is in contrast to "aloof" or "hands off". Supervisors who work closely with their employees, physically demonstrating how a job might be done, for example, are more 'hands on' than supervisors who simply send the employees an e-mail describing their duties.
