People view moving into management generally in one of two ways…
The first viewpoint is that they are “moving up” in the company. They don’t have to physically go out and do the work.
The second viewpoint is essentially coming the opposite side. A common phrase for this line of thinking is “those who can’t do, manage.”
But, while there is some truth in both of those points of view, I believe that they’re both incomplete and situation-dependent. Doing the work and managing those who do the work requires two different skill sets. Just because you’re good at doing something doesn’t mean that you’ll be a good manager. You may know what to do on your own, but leading others may not be a strength for you.
On the opposite side of the coin, maybe you can’t do the work, but you can teach others how to do it. That shouldn’t make your ideas or inputs any less valued than the person completing the work.
You’ll occasionally run into the unicorn that can do and manage, which is the best of both worlds. And, of course, the last option is that you can’t do it or coach/manage it. In that case, without a lot of effort, you just be in the wrong line of work.
No matter where you are in the doing-versus-managing spectrum, be aware that these require different skill sets. Don’t be dismissive of the other person’s ideas. Instead focus on collaborating with them and you’ll all be able to achieve the results that you desire.
