Kindly disagree. If a business has a need that is critical to the business, not hiring a person with technical experience to manage technical things is just a mistake (or the business being lazy). I dont understand the shying away from hiring a qualified individual here. The fact is, its 2017 and there actually are a fair amount of qualified technical managers who can communicate and fufill the role.
Many other comments have pointed out various analogies in other fields that reinforce this.
- jeffdavis 9y agoIf the business's primary objectives are non-technical, there will be some level of management that is non-technical, and they need some guidance. This article isn't the greatest, but it doesn't seem terrible to me. Note that "technical" is a matter of degree and relative to the team being managed. It doesn't necessarily mean they dictate their emails to their secretary.
