Yes. Although in my case when I was talking about my 'best managers', they were also the people who were brilliant and were really good at the tech side too. These people all just had a natural ability to navigate through the political BS while still being extremely competent software folks.

Looks like those people were truly "full stack". From the tech layer to the interdepartmental layer.

Yes, as much as I hate that term it really does apply here. And I'm really only thinking of 2, maybe 3 folks. These were the people who managed to be the most productive members of the team while dealing with all of the manager BS. When you find one of those you do what you can to stay under them.
