This is just my own personal opinion based on what i've seen but, some people should be managers, they enjoy it, they're great at it, it's their career path. Some people shouldn't be managers, no matter how good they are at something, it bores them, they don't like directing and organizing people, they like working on direct specific problems, they are actually really good at whatever skill it is they're being considered as manager for. Some anectdota, a friend of mine, was really good.at.their job, they'd worked hard for the better part of a decade, trained some good people and grew the company, took a role as manager while his trainees took on his old duties. His job became pretty easy, his employees were good and didn't need much management, the rest of what he needed to do was pretty simple by comparison, his job came with a pay rise, but, he became fucking miserable. He didn't get to work on the day to day things any more, when problem did occur, he couldn't really get his hands dirty, he'd delegate and the problem would get solved. Though, when something did actually go wrong, he was responsible, when there were complaints by employees, disputes and other things, he ended up dealing with them and he hated it. Contrast that with another friend, he was good at his job, but didn't really care that much about specifics, tended to already be the kind of person who would delegate or organize, always the party host or the event organizer kind of person, also got promoted to a management position and couldn't be happier. He's the kind of person who'd always talk about the results of things, would brag about group achievements like personal achievements, and generally always cared more about end results than processes and from what I know, is a pretty damn good manager and is happy with their career path. My first friend though recently had the opportunity to go back to a more technical role and has been a fair bit happier since. Just some of my observations anyway.
