Should be the boss interested in tech? He has you to be interested in tech. And the boss makes decisions and manages money.
We make here in Big Corp jokes, that 2 layers of management above us has tech knowledge from reading Wikipedia. Meanwhile I go into project management and see how I loose the touch with tech. Every fart (sorry) becomes Company Confidential Information. And I don’t want to be the one who allows leaking it in some open source activity.

A good leader doesn't make decisions most of the time. You can lead people who work on things you aren't interested in, but doing that means you need to give up control and let them make decisions. One of the biggest frustrations I've had to deal with in my career are working with upper level managers who aren't very tech savvy but insist on making technical decisions against the advice of the people whose job it is to provide technical leadership.
