It’s uncommon but not unrealistic. The old adage “surround yourself with people smarter than you” applies and is a mark of a good manager. Maybe it’s good if the manager is not a clueless MBA and has enough technical expertise to understand what the team is taking about. It should be a manager of manager’s job to identify and replace managers who don’t understand this.

If nothing else, management is itself a skill and many highly competent doers have little interest in management. And that’s ok! But I have seen way too many managers-promoting-managers and ignoring doers along the way.
