That's an extremely myopic and immature view of what management is. You have probably only worked with incompetent managers and your experiences reduce a role that can be both stressful and complex to nothingness.

Ironically, competent managers also make it look easy. Because they must understand that their mood, behavior and what they say can really impact the morale of their reports and their relationships in the organization, many display a calm and professional demeanor. To the untrained, this outward apperance obscures the fact that they work very hard to position their team for success; and navigate, mitigate or repel shitstorms.
Exactly, what merit is there to putting a manager that pushes failure onto the team? Might as well have the team itself report to senior management if one is too eager to get out of the way.
