A worse situation is a combo of both. Too many "technology" managers
are former geeks who didn't understand business and now, that they are
neck-deep in trying to understand management, don't have time nor
retained skills to understand cutting-edge technology.
I thank <insert favorite head of your religion> everyday that I've yet
to navigate my career path into management. I'm also thankful that my
present manager is a former geek who does understand business, as well
as his engineers and the technology in which we all work. Bad
management typically promotes bad management. Thankfully my manager's
manager is a genius. :-)
