"When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."

- Futurama

This quote has, pound for pound, provided more comfort to terrible leaders than any other. It’s also just not true, good leadership is very obvious.

Good leadership is only obvious in conflict or chaos. When everything is simple, it's easy for shit managers to look like good ones.

Maybe you’ve never experienced good management? Good managers are significantly different in very obvious ways even in the absence of conflict.

A good managers job is not just helping you navigate chaos.
