Why do you think law firms and accountancies are partnerships? Because the best proffesional for managing lawyers/accountants/develipers is such a proffeshional with loads of experience. Thats why we have progression, you gain management skill as you bevome more senior but you still know how the industry works and the people you manage

That’s the definition of the “Peter Principle”. Just because you are good at your profession doesn’t mean that you are good at management.

Is it impissible to select those who are good at management from the pool of thousands of people who are good at that proffeshion?

No, you first find people who want to go into management, then you give them management responsibilities without promoting them until they prove they can handle it.
