i suspect because there are so many bad managers.

There's few tests to root out bad managers. The damage bad management is capable of is.. impressive, extensive.

Bad managers will make sure that they themselves stand out at promotion time, using whatever metric they're measured with.

Good managers help their direct reports, helping them succeed and stand out at promotion time.

Guess which will usually get the promotion?
