Most managers have no clue about what I'm doing, about best practices, how to break down a task, etc. That is left to the people who actually know the job. There's no way they could make sure something is done "right" - besides checking that the final product fulfills the requirements. From my perspective a manager's job is to enable me to do my job, get me the things I need, when I need them, and act as a shield between myself and people who want to waste my time - by attending meetings with leadership and customers. And if they did that, I would call them a great manager. However if they waste my time with endless meetings, where I need to explain technical things they lack the foundational knowledge to understand, because they want to exercise close control over the process to make sure it's done "right", then they're killing my productivity and are a terrible manager.
