Not knowing what OP's specific change involves, key ENTP gifts are going to involve 1) ideating quickly over (or identifying relevant) new technologies or patterns in general and 2) constructing novel frameworks or sets of rules, and refining them to be more elegant over time[0]. If an ENTP working for me wanted to be less involved in managing the day-to-day, I'd be pretty happy about that and would highly encourage them to get their head back in the clouds and start proposing new solutions in our problem domain. The ENTP talent for ideation and ability to distill patterns into frameworks could be extremely helpful in creating breakthroughs in any industry. [0] 1: extraverted intuition; 2: introverted thinking, the primary and secondary cognitive functions used by ENTPs, based on the Jungian theory of cognitive functions.

I help companies realize new revenue paths, and to execute on new products quickly. Specifically, I figure out the 20% of engineering effort to get to the initial results. I often skip much of the initial "Product Manager-y" tasks, and build quickly with a very small team, to be in a position to sell - often based on intuition. I realized years ago that I couldn't compete in "traditional domains" of engineering - my interests in everything meant I could not become a master, traditional engineer. That career path was out. I can't compete with INTJ or ISTJ (deeply focused personalities) which is what many software engineers classify as - but I can outcompete on innovation and new revenue.
