your reply echos my reply and working in a matrix organization. are there terrible managers -- yes, but in a well functioning organization with definitive role a manager should be as you describe and not what is written in the article. what's crazy to me are all the comments here that echo what the article is saying where managers seem to be some sort of rulers and be all in an oganization, which would totally suck and i'm glad i don't work somewhere like that.
