If an individual is not interested in doing people management, it is an andication of his strong passion for technology and product. In a technologically driven industry scenario, such people are actually more efficient and result oriented. They do not want to waste their time in arranging special meetings for 'motivating' the people. They just resolve the technical problems of their colleagues 'on the fly'. Such people normally are very reasonable and they help their colleagues in a friendly manner also.
The only problem is that they do not like to make a show of these additional activities they perform.
Secondly, a person who is technically very strong, does not like to do the mobilization of people , demobilization of people , ensure that the visa of some colleagues is expiring or air ticket of some colleagues is not confirmed etc.
So if a team lead hates people management, there is no problem but the only thing necessary is to ensure that he is well behaved gentleman and treats his colleagues reasonably.
