Apply the 20/80 rule to software development. It's 20% technical, 80% people. My greatest challenge as an IT leader is not in writing code or solving technical problems, but in getting a team that plays together well. Although, I wouldn't be coding much as an IT leader, I would be happy to white board it to show that I still got it! It's really difficult to access those who can code, I have seen plenty of people who can answer all sorts of technical questions/text book questions and yet they can't code their way out of a paper bag. Just as bad, the ones that can code but are not motivated nor desire to work well with others. Stay humble!
