Comment on Programmer to Manager

Comments

Is it because someone has identified you as having leadership potential or because no one else wants to be the manager?

If the former, thank them for the assessment and leave to start your own company, even a tiny one. You will learn more about management and less about impedance matching the (dys)functions of existing organizations.

If the latter, leave to work elsewhere in a technical role, preferably under a good leader.
