Here's a thought: Some people seem to apply this backwards too. Stuff 
like this:

"Hey, we need a new manager for the machine floor."
"Let's find the best machine operator there is and promote them!"
"Great idea!"

Except that, AFAIK, "managing" is about people skills. Somebody who's 
really good at operating a complex machine isn't necessarily good with 
people. They might be, but it doesn't automatically follow.
