There are certainly more bad managers than good ones. (Just like programmers.) So it follows there will be more anecdotes about bad managers than good ones. With respect, if you've never had a good, or great, manager then I understand it'll be hard to envision a good one. I say this not to invalidate your anecdote but yo say that managers, like programmers, are not created equal and they cannot just be swapped like burgers at macdonalds.
