> Making a big mistake as a manager can cost the company a lot more than a big mistake as an individual Engineer, Architect or Developer, especially if you consider that the latter roles will catch many of each others' mistakes.

It's pretty hard for a single, middling manager to inflict costly mistakes anymore than an individual engineer. Also, I've seen management levels that are 0 - 1 subordinates deep (managers of none).
