> Good management is invaluable. (I went most of my career before seeing it done well)

I don't think I've ever seen good management. Anyone care to explain what that would look like?

Good managers will help you develop to where you want to be next. Part of this is helping you see where the next place for you is. Then they give you tasks to do that get you there.

They balance the above with the current business needs of course. Generally the two should be inline, but where they are not they help you manage that.
