Manager of a section should have knowledge to guide, coach -- his team. Here Manager does not know anything on the working of his section! WHOLE MESS STARTS THERE. All theory become baseless. You seem to be thinking in dream and not actualy on ground reality. God bless you

Very Correctly said. I have a Manager who doestnt know anything about the work we do, but just forwards emails. He just tracks emails - in / out and forwarding the mails to someone in the team. And the unfortunate part is he is the Manager ;-) Its a surprise how such people get recruited as Managers!

the root cause of problem is having a unprofessional and incompetant manager.
When to distribute the work, he selects the best he have to give the toughest works. but when it comes to submit year reports to management regarding performance appraisal, he rate each and every member of his team equal.
The basic reason is the insecurity within themself, who dont want to allow the management to notice the talents and let him progress high.
poor chap dont understand the basic theory, if your subordinate gets promoted, it automatically push you too upwards.

Rightly said. It is basically insecurity within themselves. If they find any subordinate having a bit common-sense, they will use the opportunity to kick him out. They wanted only idiots in the team. There is a management strategy - create rift amongst employees & survive. Indian Managers are good at it.

Mr Akshay Jalal
This depend only on connection with somebody known to top management. I faced it very severly by immediate boss. unfortunately almost every org has these type of ppl.
