Just thinking of the reply to this topic earlier. I figured out one more benefit.
A techie always gets promoted to be a manager. He has to get back to his toes, start listing down all that he hated in his manager and get to working what a techie under him would need to work efficiently. He can be good at nurturing a person who's going to do a techie work. What he will have to struggle is to get a manager's hat. This is one part he shall have to learn, schedule, assign, manage are some things a first timer into a management position would get to know and have to adjust with. And many would agree who better than the developer himself to estimate and assign.
Similarly a manager gets promoted to a technical role. His strings are pulled and he has to now get back to the basics. Learn the overall technique of the things being produced and yes from a higher level than he used to do it two levels below. Get to understand similar technologies, spark some innovation and collect data to explore to improve efficiencies of the techies working a two level below him. And overall be responsible for a sound product that all managers under him are going to manage.
Nothing serious yet that I can pen down a new theory of management but still jotting down my thoughts.
