I used to work with someone who thought of themselves as a technical manager, because in his years after college he managed a couple of devs who mage Flash games. Then, by some skilled office politics and association with non-technical blow-hards he managed to become a manager on a complex greenfield project where he was managing a team of 30+ and had to work within an organisation of 150+ people who thought he was the person to answer technical questions. He mismanaged the team causing a lot of people to suffer mental issues and leave. Every time there was a technical question he'd pick the most idiotic solution you could think of. There was no way of fixing this problem, because the management above him were even more clueless. I have no respect for non-technical managers.
