Management activities such as proposal writing, project planning and personnel
selection require a set of skills including presentation and communication skills,
organisational skills and the ability to communicate with other project team

Programming skills are distinct from these (indeed, it is a common criticism
of programmers that they lack human communication skills) so it does not follow
that good programmers can re-orient their abilities to be good managers.
