Bingo! This is the best i have read all week.

You will love this HBR article : https://hbr.org/2011/12/first-lets-fire-all-the-managers

Great article, the intro captures the core reasons why I recently quit as an engineering manager at a multi-national aerospace company. It also rather succinctly underlines how Boeing end up with the 737 Max situation.

The author of the article Gary Hamel, has written a book elaborating on the theme named, Humanocracy: Creating Organizations as Amazing as the People Inside Them which you may find useful.

Also see Management: A Political Activity by Ted Stephenson.
