This is a bit of a naive view of what a manager does. I've hired lots of managers and have interviewed a lot more, and there are definite real skills to the role. Those skills include hiring good people, fixing teams that don't work well, etc It would be lovely if all they needed to do was point vaguely in some direction and stop other managers from talking to the team. I could hire much cheaper people for that
