It's commendable to have enough self-awareness to recognise it happening to you. A few years ago I was promoted to a high-level director position, and even though I thought I was doing a good job, I hated every second of it and felt I was way above my head. I definitely learned the lesson that managing people is just not for me. That was my peak incompetence level. Now, either I get paid to write code, or to design systems on a hammock and have someone else build them. Just don't make me manage anything.
