As I once, somewhat embarrassingly, said to my then current manager about another manager...."Is he a manager or does he have a skill"

People managers have all but disappeared. Today's managers are those that do little but politic, say yes and operate on the policy of "F*** the quality, feel the width" (ie produce endless slides with no point but looks like they have been working hard). End result is useless managers who have no idea of the job, no idea of what the people doing the job need and no idea that their customers wonder why companies cannot deliver what is supposed to be their core competence.

When I was in the RAF on basic training, my Senior Officer would go to the NCO's and asked if they follow me (or other trainee's). If they said no then that was basically it. Who wants an Officer that can't lead.

So, horray for the end of Cruz, Walsh etc They may think they have done a good job but it could have been double or triple the outcome if they had taken the staff with them.
