No doubt. This is the dichotomy of leadership. The alternative is don't become a manager in a bad organization. But barring that solution, your only alternative is to grind on both sides of the wall until you've either got breakthrough... or you get fired.
It's not a good answer, but it lines up with the reality I've experienced.

Either the org crushes you into being a bad manager, or you're pushed out. The odds are that a single, or even a few, good managers aren't enough to turn the ship of a bad org for the better.
