A good manager is both a coordinator and a filter. They deal with bs rolling down from above and keep their team running efficiently.
A good manager is worth their weight in gold. A bad manager isn't worth their weight in bullshit.
I've also enjoyed the term "shit umbrella" for a good manager.
Yeah, our PM is great. Our previous one not so much.
He trusts us but also handles absolutely loads of stuff that we don't want to deal with.
