I'd say that good management needs to understand how their subordinates think and operate, even if they haven't played their exact role (e.g. engineer). The best managers that I've worked with, both lateral (e.g. PM) and direct (e.g. EM), take the time to get familiar with engineering processes if they don't know about them already and speak their language.
You can have management that understand tech who will get to the bottom of the problem and you can have management who don't understand tech. They won't.
Management who don't understand tech will either keep somebody on hand who they know and trust who does understand tech (e.g. a consultant) or, more likely, they'll just keep rewarding the faux superheroes who keep screwing up and bailing themselves out.
