I agree that this is a very good way of doing things. And when you are a freelancer you should manage your clients and take care of things like this. What bothers me though is when this happens (and at least for me it always does) in a corporate environment, where this is clearly managing and therefor the job of the manager. I don't mind helping with management as well as doing the actual coding, but then I'd like this added responsibility to be acknowledged so that time can be allocated for this, and that my salary can be adjusted to be closer that of a manager. Unfortunately at many workplaces I've seen management are mostly playing politics amongst themselves, and then occasionally bully developers into taking over full management responsibility when some developing is to be done.
