If you’re a manager and not technical you’re not going to understand what your people are doing, you’re only going to understand what they tell you.

Also, you’re going to be manipulated and hoodwinked by the managers around you who are technical.

Lastly, the engineers you’re managing are going to laugh at you behind your back.

I’ve seen all of this happen before.

You are talking about a bad manager. Not a good one.
