"Don’t let your managers get involved: Don’t ever promote any veteran team member, who’s apt to the task to a management position.

Simply hire someone from the outside who only knows about management (carrying around a leather agenda and/or an iPhone, arrange meetings, speaking about subjects with no expertise, without saying anything of value and still sound serious, etc).
