If you are successful, you get promoted. This continues to happen until you fail at which point you are no longer promoted. As such, you rise to the level of your incompetence.
I've seen this a dozen times where the number one salesman is NOT a good sales manager. The company hoped that they could teach others to sell only to find that the person is a better salesman with no management skills. At that point, the person is fired or, no one wants to admit the mistake and the rest of the company suffers. Rarely will a person who is promoted to manager be willing to go back to sales. The ego is too fragile and because he is a bad manager he may have made enemies from the lowly sales force. That's why a man has to know his limitations.
