There's nothing more demotivating than a manager who sees engineers as nothing but code-monkeys. I've seen it break up high-profile, well-funded companies.I believe that being better at code will alllow me to "lead gently" rather than bear down on guys
Rolling up your sleeves, taking bullets, and learning the craft will give make your engineers respect and appreciate you more. Engineering is often more than code...it's not until you begin writing code and designing interfaces that some of the most fundamental business decisions will come to the surface.
Hence the 'technical analyst' phenomenon to bridge the gap between business and code. But early on, without that luxury, both sides need to understand each other at a very deep level.
It goes both ways...a super-star coder who knows nothing about business should be avoided too.
