Honestly, I think the best you can get is having a competent manager who understands the work and people well and gets the need autonomy and trust from the company. That's hard though and there is no magic wand for the CEO to make all managers "good managers".

Maybe we keep introducing these approaches as an industry because it makes the worst cases less bad, even though it hurts teams and individuals doing well already because ultimately pushing the floor up makes a bigger difference. Not sure if that overall change is objectively better in total or only seems that way because the horrifically bad teams are what catches your attention.
