"All of this hinges entirely on your direct manager (and to an extent their manager) being an actually good manager" I've found this to be a pretty tall ask at most companies. IMO If companies got rid of most of the performance and goal setting, most lower level managers could just convert to project management and teams would be a lot more effective.
