YES.

It's when Managers think that their skill set (of "managing") is
transferrable to other industries.

Things like moving from manager of a McDonalds to managing a Taco Bell
probably aren't too hard (except for the possible cultural shift), but
moving from managing an Insurance Agency to managing a Bank aren't
exactly equivalent.

Then you get, like in the case you quoted, a manager with a strong
mechanical engineering background who has to manage an office concerned
with IT.

Yes, it happens.
