I report to a CTO and manage a large team. You probably need to delegate your planning and budget activities and serve as mostly an approver for those things.

Managing people is hard and it’s unlikely you will learn how to manage people from an MBA. Managing people is an experience thing. If you’re bad at managing people, my advice is that you hire people who are good a managing people and have those people report to you. At the same time, you probably want to minimize your number of directs. You might even consider keeping your org small and have a VP of Engineering report into someone else on the C-Staff for all things execution related. This will allow you to focus on your strengths which hopefully are technology roadmap/vision and selling that vision to customers.
