Once middle managers hit their Peter Principle level, they’re terrified of anyone below them taking their job. Had a boss like that once who was so bad about it that I quit the job. Then HIS boss grabbed me to take over another project.
Personally,
My experience is that while large organizations preach all the “right” things about what they want in management, those that actually adhere to it and take good care of the people getting the job done, and help them make sure they get the job done, are almost always the ones run over by folks who just destroy their team to make a deadline, and leave a mess in their wake for the poor fool who has to come along and clean up the mess they created.
