Most managers are measured on tangible results. It could be sales, or response times or production output. It is often number related and with this in mind, many managers seek to beef up the manpower delivering these numbers, by doing some of this work themselves.
There is nothing wrong with a manager choosing to get their 'hands dirty'. To chip in with their people. In fact, when it really matters, it can be a valuable motivational activity, building team spirit.
But as resources get stretched and the manager becomes an integral part of the workforce, the business starts to get dependent on their tactical input.
And this stops being a management role, but a 'doing' role. At it goes on and on, with no time to develop people and strategies to make the business truly grow, develop and evolve. There is no time for the really important stuff which grows teams and individuals to improve and enhance their contribution.
And so the problems start.
Firstly, the manager becomes unable to spend valuable time with team members and understand what they are feeling, or build credible relationships with them.

If you're like most of us, as soon as you've paid your fee to become a distributor, the first thing you want to know is: "How do I build my organization and make "X" number of dollars a month?" Amazingly, a lot of big money earners may give answers to that question that bring you no closer to achieving your goals than you were before.For example: 1. "Talk to people."

Secondly, employees begin to regard the manager as just another employee, at their level, and the discipline afforded to someone in seniority fails, just when it is critical to have someone leading from the front. Respect is lost.
Thirdly, the lack of development provided by a manager to each and every one of their people generates a boredom with the job. With little challenge, the job becomes repetitive. With little time for their employees, even praise becomes a rarity.
Finally, absenteeism and turnover increase. The hard working manager, doing their now 'day-job', is placed faces more tactical demands as he or she puts the 'doing' work in, to just keep up. As they have less and less capable people, inevitably, something falls off the cliff.
Typically the business starts to underperform and the manager gets put under pressure from above, often failing under the strain of self-imposed workload - but the wrong workload.
Challenging though it may be, a manager has to step back from much of this 'doing' stuff in the workplace.
