This resonates with me as a programmer who has refused the management path. However, I also think that the more experienced one becomes, and the more influence one wields in the org, the more gaps in one's skillset are amplified. So, grudgingly, I admit that with age and experience comes a certain expedience in learning to not completely suck at things that are outside of my normal areas of strength. As long as my boss understands that I may never be stellar at those things.
