It is by far easier to imagine something than it is to make that imagination real.
It is by far easier to tell someone what to do then it is to do it.
Management is by far easier than engineering.
Management, however, is still a dramatically different skill than engineering, and it is a skill that is important.

Otherwise, it's far easier to just do it, and not rely on the known unreliable "other people". Problem is that a big share of management in fact don't care about those things, and only manage the political game. But don't let that mislead you, actual management is hard, quite on par with engineering.
