The same way we deal with good developers? With managers, of course. That's the whole point of their role. Every developer productivity metric I've seen speaks to some disparity between engineering and the C-suite. I don't understand where these products originate that seek to do the manager's job for them but worse. I've been in management roles before, the numbers don't and can't always tell you the full story, no matter the size of the team or the quality of the data.

If the manager is bad, we should address that by discussing metrics to measure manager success and identify three bad managers, work with them on improving and fire them off it doesn't help.

As always, good people are hard to find.
